I live and breathe all things art, colour and texture and it\u2019s always been that way. Growing up, I was one of the lucky ones who knew exactly what they wanted to do from a really young age. This allowed me to develop expertise in both the print and digital realms of design from early on.<\/p>\n

My design career began in the world of print: with a five-year apprenticeship in the prepress department of a print factory. Print will always have a place in my heart. It taught me all about quality control, made me a stickler for small details, and showed me how to communicate effectively with clients. To this day, nothing makes me happier than running my hands over fresh print samples: the look, the feel, even the smell.<\/p>\n

While I completed my apprenticeship, I studied web design and development, while gaining a diploma in graphic design. This helped me expand my nerdy obsessions to new heights (I am one of those weirdos who actually likes technical troubleshooting!)<\/p>\n

For four years, I worked in a dynamic, fast-paced creative agency, where I took responsibility for client briefs, from concept through to production, refreshing brands and creating responsive websites that made clients really happy. During this time, I built up a strong freelance business and four years ago, I decided to take the plunge into working for myself full time. The years have flown by and I\u2019ve never looked back.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve often been referred to as a design unicorn because I specialise in both design and code, a rare skill combination that uses both the creative and logical sides of the brain. But despite my mythical unicorn status, underneath it all, I\u2019m really just a coffee-sculling, underwater-diving yogi-dog-mum with a soft spot for the colour pink.<\/mark><\/p>\n

Amber from VAAM Virtual Assistance is my go-to for all things admin. A whizz at social media scheduling, website maintenance, proofreading and website handover documents, Amber is a VA and mum who absolutely loves working in the small businesses space. Passionate about all things organisation, nothing makes her happier than ticking off those niggly tasks from her to-do list. When she’s not making my life easier with her fantastic admin skills, Amber can be found collecting indoor plants and spending time with her family outside in nature. VAMM bam, go Amb!<\/p>\n

Toby\u2019s canine biology renders him physically unable to code, write, type or even talk to clients. And being just over two years old, he doesn\u2019t have the several years of experience most entry-level jobs require these days. He gets away with it all though… I mean look at those eyes and that waggly tail. He keeps me sane, takes me for walks and is an all round very good boy.<\/p>\n

It also can’t be forgotten that Toby was the proud winner of the Cutest Puppy Comp at the 2019 Sutherland Dog Markets. Thanks to myself nobody will every forget this and his PINK sash will be with us forever.<\/p>\n

As someone who\u2019s worked in this industry for twelve years, I know how cutthroat it can be for Australian creatives forced to compete with low-cost offshore labour. I\u2019m also a firm believer that nobody understands Australia like Australians do. I believe design needs to be locally-sourced in order to be relevant to its audience, which is difficult to achieve when you partner with an overseas provider who doesn\u2019t understand our market. For these reasons, I only ever contract work locally.<\/p>\n

I get to know my clients, not only their brands. When you work with me, I communicate with you the way you\u2019d like to be communicated with, whether that\u2019s face to face, on the phone, Zoom, or via your grandfather\u2019s fax machine. That\u2019s because I am someone who values your time, resources and unique way of doing things. I enjoy working with organisations across multiple industries. It keeps my mind fresh and ensures I continue to hone my design skills for new creative challenges, every single day.<\/p>\n

Having the freedom to be ethical, transparent and responsible in everything I do is one of the reasons I started my own business. Sustainability is something I\u2019m immensely passionate about. Outside of work, I\u2019m the kind of person who carries around a keep cup just in case the urge for coffee strikes. I even have a phone case made of recycled bottle caps. At work, I\u2019m a massive advocate for using recycled print or FSC-certified materials and will always encourage my clients to do the same. While my workflow is almost entirely paperless, in the rare case that I print something, it will be on recycled paper, from a printer with re-engineered INKvestment tanks that give me up 3000 pages per cartridge of ink. Much of this isn\u2019t only environmentally friendly \u2013 it\u2019s also cost effective.<\/p>\n
