It all started when…..

Ever since I was old enough to hold a camera, I’ve had a very specific career in mind: Forensic Photographer. My dad would probably tell you it all started with his love of photography. My mum? She’d blame it on my Law & Order binge-watching sessions. Honestly, it's probably a mix of both—dad’s camera and a dash of crime scene drama.

But my journey took a twist during a Photography course. While I initially thought I’d be out there learning how to snap gritty crime scenes, I quickly discovered I was far more captivated by the creative side of photography. Who knew the magic of lighting, composition, and surreal concepts would steal the show? Somewhere along the way, my friends talked me into donating blood for the first time. Spoiler alert: I fainted. And that, my friends, was when I realised maybe forensic photography wasn’t my true calling.

Instead, my love for creativity led me down the design path. I completed a Diploma in Graphic Design and a Bachelor in Communication Design, and it became clear: if there’s one thing I’m passionate about, it’s creating.

Lucky for me, I’ve been able to combine my passion for travel with my work, having lived and worked in three different countries. I’ve developed a deep interest in branding and brand development, and I’m all about helping businesses and start-ups grow with clever, creative strategies.

My specialties? Oh, just a few things like: graphic design, print design, digital design, brand development, creative direction, communications, social media graphics, digital campaigns, Google Display Ads, email marketing... and mentoring. Phew, I’m out of breath just listing them!
