Skating is my lifetime passion. It brings a sense of freedom, joy, creativity, and an appreciation for movement, so it makes complete sense that my creative life revolves around breathing life into graphics through animation.

My career started in traditional graphic pre-press for the wine industry, learning the tactile foundations of print. As digital tech emerged, I was right at the bridge between both worlds, troubleshooting how to make a traditionally printed wine label look identical when printed digitally for a new vintage. I came into the industry at a unique time, mastering traditional techniques and early tools like Photoshop, Illustrator, and QuarkXPress.

Moving into advertising, I sharpened my skills in high-end retouching and started animating with Macromedia Director and Flash. I also branched into audio, including time on air in local radio.

Sharing the craft was an exciting new direction. I spent years as a Vocational Trainer teaching Adobe tools to industry professionals and international students, while running my studio, collaborating with corporate, educational, and community organisations.

Craving new challenges, I went to film school, discovering a passion for writing, producing, and directing. I transitioned into fast-paced motion design for television news, and later taught VET in Schools, juggling up to 5 sets at once to help Year 11 and 12 crews bring their visions to life.

In 2021, I joined ClickView as a Motion Graphic Designer before moving into my current role as a Series Producer, which unites all my creative passions: illustration, motion graphics, and filmmaking, allowing me to build on my ethos to work, play, give, learn, and create stories with real purpose and value.
