About Me
With over 10 years of experience in design and marketing, I’ve worked across a wide range of roles—including agency design lead, brand creation, event marketing, digital and print advertising, graphic design, consulting, website design, and social media content.
After five years at a leading marketing and design studio in Dunedin, New Zealand, I left the city behind. My family and I traded our suburban lifestyle for the coastal charm of Taieri Mouth, embracing the lifestyle block dream and transitioning to freelance work from home.
This shift not only deepened my understanding of how businesses run day-to-day but also taught me the dedication it takes to juggle self-employment with raising a young family. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working with international corporations, high-net-worth individuals, small family-run businesses, startups, and fellow creatives.
