"I thought I was being punk'd when they said I could have a stall", responded designer Michael Pham when I asked him whether it was a pain in the ass to get a space at the Melbourne Design Market. The one-day-only event, put on by the Melbourne International Design Festival, houses stalls offering everything from jewellery, to lighting, to gadgets and Pham's badges.

Pham's a product designer with a self-diagnosed case of ‘hyperactive brain disorder' and has spent an unsavoury amount of hours fooling around on Adobe Illustrator. His badges make key social observations like ‘God spelt backwards is Dog' and profound personal statements like, ‘Yoda is my homeboy'. There's also a Melbourne set and a Type Writer set which testifies his love for Wagga and beards.

So if you want to grab a little piece of the design festival for yourself, but don't want to default on your rent, search out the Stitch stall - it's #28.
