Over a month Zac hosted four workshops which were designed as an introduction course for experienced writers to adapt their work and translate it to graphic novels as a medium. He presented a range of material across both the writing and visual aspects of creating comics drawing from mainstream and independent comics as reference and his own experience in the industry - providing a rich and unique learning experience for a diverse group of students.

During his time at Coldwell Banker Property Direct, Zac designed marketing material used to promote various properties sold through the agency. Primarily working in print, this included material such as letter box droppers and invitations to auctions for Coldwell Banker Previews properties, the CB brand used to promote multi-million dollar homes.
