I am afraid the subject fails WP:NPROF and the wider WP:GNG. Perhaps unsurprisingly, as a scholar who j ust got Masters 5 years ago (no information about a PhD, through one would assume any Associate Professor should have one), it's way WP:TOOSOON for her to be notable. Being a co-winer of "Publishers' Association of New Zealand Book Design Award for Best Non-Illustrated book" is nice, but that award seems relatively minor (it doesn't have a Wikipedia article, nor does the awarding company, and I don't see coverage of this award/recipients in the media...) and is not sufficient in itself for making the subject notable. PS. Through not a factor in the notability of the subject, we should note the COI of the article's creator, whose userpage declares "Jo Bailey is a designer at Massey University.", making the article creator likely a co-worker or student of the subject.

 * Comment, Brown has also been a joint exhibitor with Anne Noble of "Whiteout Whitenoise" but more is needed. Coolabahapple (talk) 11:14, 28 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment To teach design, even as an associate professor, usually only requires a masters degree, mostly in the form of a terminal degree such as an MFA or MDesign.  freshacconci  (✉) 11:57, 28 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Doesn't make the bar. Johnbod (talk) 14:34, 28 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete the article sources are largely primary. A search does to find adequate secondary independent RS to establish WP:GNG.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 15:28, 28 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete I can find no evidence that she is exceptional among academics. If the creator can state otherwise then I will change to "draft". (Dushan Jugum (talk) 07:38, 29 March 2019 (UTC)).
