ABOUT

 

THE JOURNEY BEGINS...

I am a beach girl at heart, never far from the ocean. Growing up in a small coastal town there was always time for creative projects, giving me a strong foundation in colour, illustration and balance. Art was always my passion so it was only natural I study Visual Communications at University to become a Graphic Designer and make beautiful things.

 

WANDERLUST

After my studies I traveled around Europe before settling in London where I was lucky enough to land a job designing alcohol labels at Claessens International, as a junior branding designer. It was an incredible apprenticeship working for a leading design agency, world renowned for developing some of the most successful beverage brands such as Johnnie Walker, Chivas Regal, Bombay Sapphire, Mumm Champagne, Russian Standard Vodka, Havana Club, Ketel One Vodka… the list goes on ( as do the drinks ).

My creative curiosity soon led me to an internship designing shoes for Jimmy Choo. It was an amazing experience working for a luxury fashion brand learning how the world of shoe design and luxury brands operates. My shoe collection never looked better! After leaving London I spent a few months travelling, stopping in Russia to see my vodka designs in action and catching the Trans Siberian ( Vodka Train ) to China. After backpacking through Asia I landed back in beautiful, sunny Sydney.

 

BOLDINC.

I was one of the founding members at Boldinc. Brand Innovation a design agency that builds premium brands for local and international markets. My role ranged from designing to illustration to managing a small team overseeing design projects from start to finish. After eight years of amazing experiences, a Design Director promotion, two forced office relocations due to growth, work trips to London, Hong Kong and Singapore, three company ski trips and some truly great friends, I am really grateful for my time at Boldinc.

 

INTERIOR LOVE

I fell in love with Interior design while renovating my apartment, so embarked on an Interior Design & Styling course with ISCD. Studying while working full time almost killed me, but it paid off when I received top marks and industry awards for my bathroom, living and commercial designs. 

 

SEA 2 SKIN

I co-founded a natural skincare brand called Sea 2 Skin inspired by the ocean and Australian beach culture. In the short time Sea 2 Skin has been operating it has smashed its way into the US market being stocked by Urban Outfitters, as well as getting snapped up by international retailers, magazines and bloggers. We were approached with an unrefusable offer to sell Sea 2 Skin in 2019 and so we farewelled our ocean baby.

 

WHAT'S NEXT...

I’m now balancing my time working with exciting clients and design agencies in Sydney and London. When I’m not designing up a storm on the computer or covered in charcoals, pastels and paint creating artworks I'm ocean bound. The future is exciting and I'm looking forward to more creative projects!
