About me

I am a graphic designer with three years brand, digital and e-commerce design experience and a further two years in marketing. I am a recent graduate of RMIT School of Design in Melbourne and the winner of inaugural Collie Print Trust Academic Scholarship (dux). After three years working as an in-house graphic designer I took a career break to further my skills doing an Associate Degree in graphic design in Melbourne. This was a studio based degree that focussed almost entirely on skills and studio processes. Alongside my studies I freelanced for my own practice, Slater Rose, as well as worked part time at Overdose Digital designing medium-large e-commerce websites. I am looking to move in to a junior role or an internship which would be focussed on brand and brand strategy encompassing both print and digital design.
