We are Eggpicnic
Eggpicnic is an award-winning design studio devoted to wildlife conservation, founded by designers and birders Camila De Gregorio and Christopher Macaluso. They create illustrations and impactful public art installations to raise support for species and ecosystems in Australia and around the world. Creating characters that tread a fine line between art and design, they aim to capture the beauty of nature in the hope of inspiring others to protect it. They actively support conservation programs both locally and globally, with profits from their work donated to support scientific research and conservation programs.
Eggpicnic’s artistic expertise is reflected in prestigious commissions that highlight their dedication and influence in the realm of public art. Their work has illuminated the façade of the Australian Parliament House, bringing conservation issues to the attention of Australia’s political leaders, and has also lit up the iconic pylons of the Sydney Harbour Bridge during Vivid Sydney.
Eggpicnic’s portfolio includes extensive collaborations with prominent entities such as the City of Sydney, City of Melbourne, ACT Government, Sydney Olympic Park, and iconic locations like Bondi Beach, where their art has transformed urban landscapes into vibrant tributes to wildlife. Their work has earned numerous accolades, including recognition for their artistic excellence from the Sydney Opera House, cementing their role as leaders at the intersection of art and conservation.
Their commitment to scientific rigour is reflected in ongoing collaborations with experts like Dr Kate Umbers from Western Sydney University. Together, they lead research initiatives that quantify the measurable impact of art in driving conservation efforts.
In a landmark collaboration, Eggpicnic had the privilege of partnering with Shepard Fairey—one of the most influential street artists of our time—and Randall Poster, a renowned music supervisor known for his work with directors such as Wes Anderson and Martin Scorsese, to contribute to the Birdsong Project. These collaborations not only enriched Eggpicnic’s artistic narrative but also expanded their reach, further establishing their position at the forefront of creative activism.
In 2024, their work was honoured with the ACT Chief Minister’s Export Award in the field of creative industries. In 2025, their work was selected to illuminate the Argyle Cut for Vivid Sydney, a state-significant heritage site in Sydney.
