She has also undertaken collaborative work in the areas of performance and costume design. In 2004 Franklin completed a Masters of Arts (Visual Arts) at The School of Contemporary Arts, Edith Cowan University and in the same year she undertook a residency at the Art/Science research laboratory SymbioticA, at the University of Western Australia.
