On the side, John is also the creator of LGBT publication & community A Bundle of Sticks- a chance for like-minded people to share their stories and hardships, letting them be heard to support and inspire others who feel frightened and scared to come out of the closet.
Before making the big move to London, John gained his experience in publication for sexual diversity magazine Archer, LGBT role model for The Reach Foundation, graphic designer for Snap Fitness, Watch & Grow and Oracle Creative Media, as well as lastly developing leadership skills as a supervisor for retail companies New Look and Kmart Australia.
Projects
- A Bundle of Sticks | Issue TwoA Bundle of Sticks is a chance for the queer community to share their coming out stories to help and inspire others. Through the strength of Issue One these stories are helping to open up the minds of the world that believe it is our choice to be queer and guiding others who feel afraid. Letting them know it’s ok and it does get better.
