Hey there! I am a graphic designer and passionate illustrator who loves creating on the cusp of beauty and functionality. I have completed a Bachelor’s Degree in Design (Communication Design major) at Swinburne University of Technology, where I discovered my passion and developed my skills. I have worked as a freelance designer with a range of clients, from surgeons, to an IT company, to a podcast!

When working, I value being communicative, organised, and a team player to help both individual and team work become streamlined, timely, and ultimately more successful in their outcomes.

Outside of work, I am an avid arts-and-crafts hound who loves music, theatre, and being active - and I can never say no to a good cheese board.

I look forward to creating designs that are useful for my clients, consider their environmental impact, and add some joy to the world.

Personal Branding

My personal branding needed to communicate my personality and strengths to clients and employers. I put my best foot forward by highlighting my favourite and strongest design elements: typography and colour. By using dynamic typography, bold colour, and clean shapes, others can tell that I am bubbly, creative, and professional.

Craft Victoria Annual Report

Craft Victoria required an annual report design that was both informative and visually engaging. Following the theme ‘Inspiring Our Makers’, I abstracted typographic forms in bold colours to create expressive, dynamic layouts.

FreshFest 2022

FreshFest 2022 required a branding identity for their gardening festival targeted at young adults. Vibrant colours combined with imperfect
type and illustrations communicate
a natural, ‘fresh’ look for the event.

Calligraphy Kit Packaging

Naughty & Nice required a hand-generated packaging concept for their DIY calligraphy kit. Vintage type styles, rubberhose-style brand mascots, and a neutral colour palette communicated the product’s vintage novelty.
