About Me
I am a multidisciplinary Graphic Artist and Senior Finished Artist with 20 years of experience collaborating with internationally respected agencies. Throughout my career, I have partnered with creative teams to develop impactful communications for local and global brands across traditional and digital advertising, branding, health, travel, and charity sectors.
In 2020, I relocated to Queensland from Sydney.
Since 2021 I’ve worked full-time at a branding studio in Brisbane, specialising in the property sector. My role involves crafting and rolling out visual identities, property marketing, and placemaking projects, retouching and illustration and focusing on art production and asset management of the studio. Over the past year I was working closely with the Sydney and Melbourne studios.
I pride myself on having an honest ability to understand the needs of a studio and related departments, excellent time management skills, well versed in the workflow and managing traffic through a studio, an advanced level of knowledge on studio relevant software, being adaptable, friendly and professional.
Having held both permanent and freelance positions across diverse industries, I’ve developed a keen insight into the nuances of different projects, processes, and client relationships. Adapting to unique challenges and requirements has become one of my most valued skills, and I enjoy applying this flexibility to each new opportunity.
Some career highlights include:
- working at some of the worlds most awarded branding and advertising agencies
- rolling out nationwide POP/POS campaigns for a global beverage brand’s World Cup initiative
- rolling out all the identities for Australia premier soccer code and all it’s national teams
- assisting in the creation and rolling out marketing assets for a motor racing series
- creating online and print collateral for a global petroleum company’s B2B platform.
- contributed to the development of user interfaces for a global credit card company and recently marketing rollouts for billion-dollar property developments across Australia and New Zealand.
If this resonates with your needs, I’d love to connect.
