I’m a multidisciplinary creative specialising in fashion storytelling, creative direction, and brand communication. With over a decade of experience across the Australasian market—and now based in Europe—I bring a global perspective to visual narratives that resonate.
I hold a Master’s degree (with honours) in Fashion Styling, Creative Direction & Digital Content from Istituto Marangoni Milan. During my studies, I was selected for a mentorship with Harper’s Bazaar Italia’s Creative Fashion Director, Sissy Vian—an experience that continues to inform my approach to styling and editorial concepts.
My background spans art direction, campaign development, visual communication, and marketing across fashion, beauty, and lifestyle brands. Whether leading a team or working independently, I’m driven by creative ideas that feel purposeful, bold, and culturally in tune.

Inspired by the analogue techniques of Nick Knight and the intimate, unfiltered depictions of the body by Corinne Day and Mario Sorrenti, I explored nudity as both an artistic expression and a symbol of empowerment.

- Brancott Estate, Life On The Flipside - Global Social LaunchI developed a series of visual assets, both stills and motion for all social platforms which laddered back to Brancott Estates' new brand positioning; Taste Life on The Flipside. With this in mind, the campaign was designed to evoke a playful impression via unexpected food pairings, cocktail ideas and poppy styling to ignite fresh energy & inspiration.
