Hello!
I’m a designer based on the Gold Coast with experience spanning a range of industries, including travel, fashion, and arts and culture. Throughout my career, I’ve worked within both boutique creative agencies and large organisations, giving me a broad perspective on design, collaboration, and stakeholder engagement.
With more than 20 years of experience across in-house and agency environments, I’ve developed a strong ability to build relationships, facilitate meaningful conversations, and bring people together around a shared creative vision. I’m comfortable navigating diverse perspectives, managing expectations, and presenting ideas with confidence, while actively seeking feedback to strengthen outcomes.
I’m passionate about collaboration and continuous learning. I believe the best creative solutions emerge when ideas are explored, challenged, and refined with the people around you. This approach has consistently helped me deliver thoughtful, effective design outcomes that resonate with audiences and stakeholders alike.
Colleagues often describe me as approachable, calm under pressure, and dependable. I take pride in producing high-quality work, even within tight timeframes, and enjoy contributing to positive, productive team environments.
