THE SMILE
So, yes, I am usually smiling and yes, it's genuine. I am an optimist who proudly wears her rose-tinted glasses but looks at the world through realistic eyes. I love contrast and variety which is probably why I have a hybrid working life, allowing me to indulge my creative side, push boundaries and explore ideas, at the same time fulfilling my need for structure and order, paying attention to the details. In addition, I get to help people to grow and develop in their own way.
THE BIRD
Originally from England – a Yorkshire lass, born and bred – I flew to Melbourne, Australia almost a decade ago and have made it my home.
In my downtime, I enjoy reading, going for walks in the fresh air (I do miss the Yorkshire hills for that), marathoning tv dramas, and hanging out with my family (my partner and our cat).
My work life has been varied and diverse yet the focus has always been people and communication. I have worked predominantly in education - teaching in primary schools, further education colleges and prisons. In recent years, I have balanced this work with more creative endeavours, working freelance as a graphic designer, book editor and proofreader since 2016. At the heart of my world and my work are the people.
THE WORK
My design work is heavily concept driven and careful consideration is given to every aspect of the visual story being created. One of my favourite parts of the design process is the early stages of idea generation and collaboration with the client. The design process very exciting - being able to take a project from the initial idea through to the final product is incredibly rewarding for both me and my clients.
In addition to being a graphic designer, I am also a freelance copywriter, copy editor and proofreader. My love of language and clever word play, along with a degree in English studies which have me a solid formal background in English language and literature, made this work a natural choice.
Whether it be a language or visual based medium, my purpose is to make the communication as beautiful and well constructed as possible.
