Available to hire
I am a graphic and textile designer with a diverse background and skill set, having worked across the events and visual design industries. I have developed skills in event management, design for print, digital media, textiles, and social media content creation and engagement. I believe strongly in working independently as well as part of a team, which I have practiced across the various roles I’ve held. I hold full working rights and citizenship in New Zealand.
With a passion for creativity, I’ve custom-painted over 250 items and worked on campaigns and workshops, all while coordinating events and managing social media for multiple platforms. I enjoy using my artistic skills to deliver engaging designs and facilitating workshops that inspire others in textile arts.
