About me

In a nutshell: I'm a graphic designer from Sydney who ran away to London! To me, graphic design is visual problem solving. The human interaction and experience of design should be at the core. How we use, view and appreciate graphic design is just as important as how beautiful it looks and feels. I've always been told that if you've done your job right as a designer, no one can tell - it should be natural and seamless, but able to stand out and hold attention where needed. I am an avid fan of Eurovision, an excessive tea drinker, and am slowly but surely working my way through my too-long bucket list. I completed a Bachelor of Design from the University of New South Wales in 2015, and worked as a junior graphic designer on marie claire, InStyle, Men's Health, Women's Health and BEAUTYcrew at Pacific Magazines for two years. Since November 2017 I have been working as a graphic designer at Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance in London, and living up the London life!
