Designer with experience in digital & traditional art, graphic & digital design, & photography. I’m a designer from Australia with a background in graphic design, digital media, art, and photography. I’m currently completing my Diploma in Graphic & Digital Design at Collarts, and I also hold Diplomas in Art and Photography. My earlier career in Business Administration gives me strong organisational and communication skills that enhance my design work. I focus on digital graphics, advertising materials, branding, motion graphics, and product‑based design for online businesses. My work is detail‑driven, reliable, and consistently recognised with Distinctions and High Distinctions. What differentiates me is my calm, collaborative approach and my ability to create design that feels both visually polished and emotionally grounded. Employment and Project Experience Traditional Artist 2015 – Present Creating hand‑drawn and mixed‑media artwork with a focus on illustration, expressive mark‑making, and visual storytelling. My practice spans graphite, ink, markers, watercolour, and experimental traditional mediums, with a strong emphasis on composition, perspective, and material technique. Over the years, I’ve developed a body of work that blends fine‑art sensibilities with contemporary design aesthetics, informing my approach to branding, digital graphics, and product‑based design. This long‑term traditional foundation differentiates my work from designers who rely solely on digital tools — it gives me a deeper understanding of form, texture, and visual rhythm, and allows me to create designs that feel tactile, human, and emotionally grounded. Lyricist 2024 – Present Writing original lyrics for artists and independent musicians across multiple genres. My work focuses on emotional storytelling, strong imagery, and melodic phrasing, with experience in toplining, ghost‑writing, and collaborative creative development. I specialise in crafting narrative‑driven lyrics that support an artist’s voice, brand, and sonic identity, and have contributed to projects ranging from indie releases to commercial demos. Freelance Graphic & Digital Designer 2022 – Present Branding, digital graphics, advertising materials, Etsy product collateral, motion graphics, and visual storytelling for small businesses, online sellers, and creative entrepreneurs.
