About me
I studied my love of books and magazines at art college by specialising in design for publishing. These formative years have seen me through many amazing clients and projects involving all aspects of design.
My career started in graphic design and naturally moved into publishing. Over the years these disciplines have helped me to see both sides of the coin. I have created fully integrated branding projects, logos, magazines, books, bespoke literary pieces, direct marketing, campaigns and lots more, all from concept to completion. I have art-directed many shoots and commissioned lots of great illustrators across all integrated platforms. I have been lucky enough to work in both Sydney and New York pursuing my design passions.
I am currently working on lots of exciting projects from new business pitches to branding start-ups. Please do contact me if you would like to work together I would love to hear from you.
