Intro

I have 15 years of design experience in both the print and digital space. I started in pre-press and developed in many other areas such as website maintenance, social media, marketing and UX design.

At Essence – The Health Agency, I specialised in creating impactful DTC and HCP materials, navigating the complex regulatory landscape of pharmaceutical design (TAPS). I honed my skills in Figma and Sketch, translating strategic thinking into visually compelling designs, even in the serious realm of medical communication.

As Senior Designer at Good Health, I delved into the world of supplements, transforming product knowledge into engaging POS materials and packaging. Collaborating with brand managers, the naturopath and sales team was key to creating effective and impactful designs.

My tenure at Pumpt Advertising provided a broad range of creative, from digital assets and video production to print collateral and merchandising. I adapted to diverse projects and clients, consistently delivering high-quality results.

I  freelanced through the Creative Store, which helped me to push myself out of my comfort zone, adapt and learn on the job. Much of the feedback given, was how fast I got the job done, and to a high standard. The experience I accrued during this period has proven invaluable, showcasing my proficiency in rapid learning and effective collaboration with a diverse range of individuals. I worked at The Warehouse, creating mailers with their large creative team, and also in the digital department. I flexed my photoshop skills at Container Door by altering photos of furniture to match fabric samples, and photographing homewares.

Throughout my experiences I have developed many skills and embraced change. Quick task adaptation and effective communication have been my hallmarks. I’m interested about leveraging AI to enhance the creative process, while maintaining ethical and legal standards. Staying current with the latest design trends and innovations is my passion.
