About me

I learnt the skills to become a successful designer during my three years at university, where I received a Creative Arts degree in Graphic Design and New Media. I consider myself to be an extremely creative, enthusiastic and dedicated team player with a passion for design. I am a fast and efficient worker and thrive on working in a fast paced environment. I am reliable, highly organised, have strong conceptual skills, a good eye for detail and an attitude to always produce a high standard of work. I constantly work on a number of projects at once, proving my ability to prioritise several projects according to deadlines. I am proficient in Adobe InDesign, Illustrator and Photoshop.
I am a very approachable and friendly person and am always ready to offer my assistance.

Deputy Art Director

I have over 15 years working as a graphic designer –  10 of those years working in the magazine industry. I began work at that's life! magazine in 2007, starting out as their puzzle designer and progressing to Designer for that's life!, Senior Designer, and then in 2011 I was appointed to  Deputy Art Director. During my time at that's life! I worked on a number of design projects including numerous layouts inside the mag, that's life! covers, puzzle book covers, marketing material such as cover wraps, posters, banners, counter units, bags and flyers, the Fast Fiction Special, and Reader Recipes Cookbooks. 

In 2015 I started a new role as Deputy Art Director at Practical Parenting magazine. In this role I designed layouts for features, lifestyle, news, shopping, marketing pages, promotional material for the web such as banners and memes. I also did picture research for numerous pages within the magazine.

Freelance Designer

In 2016 I began working as a freelance designer at Better Homes and Gardens magazine on one of their special projects. This involved designing their 16 page monthly Bunnings special. This role also required me to come up with creative ideas for content and source the images needed for each layout.

I am currently working from home as freelance designer for a number of clients both in Sydney and in the Port Macquarie - Hastings region. I have been designing such things as Logos, Corporate Branding and Stationery, Advertisements, Newsletters, Signage, Magazine Layouts, Posters, Web Assets, EDMs, and Booklets.
