Dan Wenn / Danny Awes
Art + Creative

Dan Wenn, known as Danny Awes, has been painting graffiti and street art since 1988. He is one of Australia's most respected mural artists, known for photorealistic murals, graffiti letter work and a brief-driven practice that adapts to every project rather than working within a fixed aesthetic. He holds an honours degree in Communication Design from RMIT University and has worked with global brands including Adidas, Google, Puma, LinkedIn, Visa and Lululemon. He was the first ever winner of War of the Words, a timed graffiti battle that remains one of the most prestigious events in the Australian scene. Every commissioned artwork is designed and painted by Dan.

Helainie Geor
Clients + Projects

Helainie brings close to 15 years of project management experience across the creative industries, fashion and higher education to her role at 90 Degrees. She holds a Bachelor in International Studies from UNSW and a Masters in Fashion and Textiles from RMIT University, where she also lectured postgraduate students before joining Dan at 90 Degrees full time. Prior to this she worked as the Merchandise Coordinator for RMIT - buying, developing and merchandising all RMIT branded apparel and products and doubling merchandise sales year on year in the process.

At 90 Degrees, Helainie is the primary point of contact on every project, managing briefs, timelines, budgets, stakeholders and site compliance from first conversation to final invoice. She places enormous value on the relationships she builds with clients and contractors, many of whom become long term collaborators and friends. She is always available, follows up, remembers the details, and makes sure people feel they are in good hands.

She provides consultancy to councils around graffiti mitigation and public art. Most recently, she managed Merri-bek Council's annual mural program, overseeing artist engagement, wall sourcing, logistics and design advisory across the full program.

Her background in product development allows her to explore creative applications for Dan's art beyond the wall, turning artworks into products, prints and branded merchandise that extend the life and reach of every artwork.
