Professional Profile

Hi and welcome to my professional profile.

This page outlines my education, experience and some examples of my design work over the past 10+ years.

A bit about me...

I specialise in articulate and creative design solutions across a full range of multimedia. I love beautiful, clean aesthetics and simplified smart structure.

I have excellent attention to detail which I have learnt is only achievable with equally proficient organisational and administrative skills.

My approach to visual communication focuses on creating structure around chaos. I live for lists, I operate using processes and I love creating structured solutions. I also believe that becoming a mother has only helped to refine and strengthen these skills.

I am dedicated to self-directed learning and am currently teaching myself Figma and furthering my WordPress skills, with which I am using the Elementor page builder as well as Divi.

Head of Creative and Senior Designer at Brand Territory.

In early 2013, along with the Director and the Head of Account Services, I established a small creative agency.

This was an amazing experience with which I gained well-rounded skills in project and people management.

I developed refined skills in obtaining, and delivering client briefs, adhering to branding guidelines, developing integrated marketing campaigns and customer relationships.

As the head of the Creative team, I helped establish workflow practices, briefing and proofing processes and was ultimately responsible for the quality of work produced by the creative studio.

I also gained invaluable experience in people management, mentoring, training and overall teamwork.

As a Marketing Coordinator and Graphic Designer, I worked across both Moreton Hire and its’ brother company, Prototype Commercial Furniture.

My role varied from marketing specific tasks such as social media and corporate website management and reporting, digital copyrighting, and event and exhibition execution; as well as the graphic design of local and national event collateral, print and digital advertisements, major proposal and tender documents and updating in-house documents and templates.

Junior Graphic Designer

I was brought on by the American-based software company SuccessFactors just after it had acquired a family-owned Brisbane start-up.

Initially I was responsible for the roll out of the new branding across all marketing touchpoints.

As the in-house Graphic Designer, I was then responsible for the production of brand and marketing material across the global APAC region.

Reporting and working under the direction of the Creative Director based in California, I worked alongside the APAC Sales and Marketing Department to deliver region-specific projects and material ranging from in-house collateral through to global scale conferences.

Choice Creative
