A Brief Career Overview

  • I currently manage the marketing for Thomas Wines in the Hunter Valley. This is an on-site role and involves everything from managing social media, content creation, website design, wine club management, email marketing, event planning and design for print and digital.

  • After returning to Australia late Nov 2022, I took on multiple clients directly, working on a project to project basis for some and a more adhoc nature for other clients. For the most part, this is product design, email marketing design, image retouching, content creation and brand design.

  • From Jan 2020-August 2022 I was leading a small but talented creative team at London based leg-wear brand, Hedoine. We're an e-commerce scale-up with a focus on B2C but are now stocked in two department stores - Selfridges (London) and KaDeWe (Berlin). We're incredibly proud of our world's first product: biodegradable and ladder resistant tights. Yes, both.

  • From my arrival in London in September 2018, I freelanced with some incredible brands including M&S, Arcadia Group’s Top Shop, Evans & Wallis, Bloom and Wild, We Are Family and Audio Network.

  • An all encompassing role for the original Australian boho retailer with over 40 stores, Tree of Life. Working across both online and in-store assets and managing a small team of in-house and freelance creatives to produce seasonal campaign shoots and working closely with the e-commerce manager to regularly produce e-commerce and product shoots.

  • While establishing our new business, the Hop & Grain Brew Store, I freelanced for various agencies and direct clients including Infinity Technologies, Milk Digital, Webling, and Kartel Digital as both a digital and graphic designer.

  • Ah, the early days! After graduating with a BA in Visual Communication (Design), I began working full time in a digital agency. The first 3 years of my career were spent deeply in web/digital designer mode and gave me a great foundation of UI / UX knowledge that has been helpful throughout my career.
