Why am I a designer?
Design is a means to utilize my creativity to influence our visual environment. I love how design allows me to employ the practice of illustration to create a distinct voice for brands that communicates a vision, delights an audience, and informs on multiple levels. The profession stretches and develops my skills as a strategist, technician, and communicator while fulfilling an innate desire to create.
Why should you hire me?
I am invested in continually developing my skills as a designer and communicator. This translates into research being an integral part of my process and personal projects a key factor in maintaining stamina in the industry. My education in Business/Marketing in tandem with my technical practice allows me to consider concepts from both a strategic and visual lens. My work has been recognised by several national awards including the RGD So(cial) Good Design Award, Applied Arts, and as an RGD ULTRABOLD finalist.
Where do I see myself in 5 years?
I see myself continuing to find ways to develop my skills and elevate the work I produce through personal projects that feed back into my client work. It will be important for me to always consider how to challenge conventions and find new ways to solve a problem and experiment. As I continue to grow in my own practice I hope to give back to the creative community through mentoring, teaching workshops, and giving talks, something I have so valued taking in as I was starting out in the industry.
