Naarm, Australia 

I’m Hanto Cantwell — a queer art director and designer who brings a playful, radical approach to every project. Over the past 10+ years, I’ve worked across music, hospitality, culture, and fashion industries. At the heart of my work is a belief that the design process should be expressive, imperfect and inclusive.

Creative direction, Brand Identity

Firebird, Commune Group’s latest venture, draws on the unpredictability of open-flame cooking to create bold, sensory experiences. The brief: build an identity connected to Hanoi Hannah yet strong enough to stand alone. Our response centred on fire as both transformative and communal, resulting in a brand that feels human, progressive and vibrant.
