About

I'm an animal lover, coffee addict, true crime obsessed and purveyor of purple. I work at the sweet spot between beauty and function to create simple, useful, and beautiful digital designs. I'm passionate about using design for positive impact.

Experience

While I was hired at etrainu as an Accounts Clerk, I only worked in that role a few months.  It was pretty obvious that my skills at creating colour-coded labels far outweighed my accounting skills, and I jumped at the opportunity to move into the Development team. I started off with eLearning development using Flash but gained experience in website design, print design, communications design and digital marketing.

etrainu created yomconnect, a media network that connects leading brands with engaged audiences around the world. Our campaigns deliver 3-6 times higher engagement than traditional digital media, as well as a creative agency that has had clients across non-profit, FCMG, automotive, finance and retail.

Working on various clients including BCD, Real Futures, Gloria Jean's, Donut King, Michel's, Brumby's and Let's Talk Disability, as well as yomconnect's proprietary app has given me experience in the UI/UX and web design worlds as well as given me many invaluable skills with creating easy to use, functional and clean user interfaces and designs.

A bit about me

What is one quality you admire in leadership?

Brutal feedback. I don't like pussyfoot around and enjoy working with people who can give constructive feedback. The best products come from more than one perspective and it's always fun to work back and forth to get the best result possible.

What three words best describe your working style?

Get shit done

Are you available for freelance work?

It depends on the project. If it will give me the warm and fuzzies and contribute some good into the world, sure! Get in touch and let me know what you need and I'll let you know my availabilities.

What's your family like?

They're nuts! Mum and Dad are raised some weird ones.. I have 2 sisters and a brother, and together they've given me 2 beautiful nieces and 4 awesome nephews who I never call enough 😬

What's your favorite dinosaur?

Ankylosaurus. It's a walking tank and has a badass tail attack. Even it's eyelids are armoured!

What's your favourite quote?

"Becoming isn't about arriving somewhere or achieving a certain aim. I see it instead as forward motion, a means of evolving, a way to reach continuously toward a better self. The journey doesn't end."

- Michelle Obama
