I am creative who puts the concept first, focusing on developing innovative and original ideas. At the core, I thrive hands-on creativity which includes branding, art direction, and design thinking. I shine under pressure and have the ability to work in fast-paced environments, where tight deadlines exist. Having a background in sports and polished concrete has shaped my identity as a designer and as a person.
INTRO
Throughout my childhood in the Perth Hills, I was immersed in a world dominated by nature and space to explore. Raised in a blended family with three siblings, my upbringing instilled in me a deep appreciation for the outdoors. Sports became an integral part of my life from an early age, drawing me in with its active engagement and sense of community.
Through my teenage years, my passion for the arts and design grew, offering a perfect balance to my love for physical activity. This period allowed me to intertwine the joy of sports with the creativity that comes with design.
In 2019, I commenced my degree while simultaneously contributing to my family's concrete polishing business. This experience served as a unique bridge, allowing me to combine physical activity with the exploration of innovative design, throughout my university education. This journey taught me the invaluable virtues of hard work, perseverance, and the ability to manage pressure. Working with concrete has instilled in me a profound sense of patience and trust in the process. Possessing a keen eye for detail, I am driven to craft design solutions that are innovative and captivating.
