To enhance people’s lives through fun, inspiration, creativity and self-expression.
It all made sense in 2011 when I realised that I was in the wrong field.
Three years deep into a plumbing apprenticeship, I knew that my true calling was something creative.
It was then time to quit and start looking what I wanted to do. After some research I knew that the advance diploma in Graphic Design was for me. I enjoyed the arts in school and photography had become a pretty big passion of mine now.
Time to get serious, to nut down and do what I had to and get the best results I could. And that’s what I did. Three months in I knew that this was my calling, my passion and that it was me.
Done, got my certificates learnt the skills and met some amazing people. So now what?
I found myself applying here there and everywhere for jobs. I had never wanted a job so much in my life. Freelancing on whatever I could get my hands on to build my folio the best I could.
Finally a door opened and a graphic design/ photography job came my way at Mornington Peninsula Magazine and I also landed a casual job at the ABC. (Talk about when it rains, it pours).
I stared designing ads for the mag and then found myself laying out pages and features. All the while taking photos for restaurants new menus, new exciting products and some very interesting local people.
Then there was ABC. Designing animations and story plasmas for the top braking news stories in Australia.
Two great jobs working in completely different ways, and wouldn’t change a thing.
A year on, and some crazy projects had come my way. From building a fitness company to fashion photography shoots and drawing people’s precious pets. I am always after challenging myself and growing as an artist as well as a person.
I now currently work with the Mornington Peninsula News Group as well as ABC. And then anytime I get the chance to have a pencil, camera or laptop in my mits. I just enjoy creating and making peoples visions become a reality.
Work Terms
I work part time on a number of projects at a time, but prioritising my work load is a big park of my work ethics. Every deadline will be met.
Email is the best method of communication.
