About

I'm a designer and design leader working across brand, creative and strategic design. Craft is embedded in how I work, from the first conversation to the final detail: the care, the intention and the small decisions that turn a good idea into one that is amplified.

Idea-led and strategy-driven, I build brand design systems and platforms where craft speeds the work up and takes the idea further. For over four years as Head of Craft at Thinkerbell, I led design and craft on brand, campaign and strategic projects for clients including Vegemite, XXXX, Jetstar, Dan Murphy's, BWS, BCF, GWM, Dare, Blundstone, Binge, and many more, and built the processes that keep a brand recognisably itself, at every touchpoint and at scale.

I do my best work where strategy and creative talk early, and everyone in the room is in absolute service of the idea and what the brand means.

Capabilities

Leveraging design across three streams: Brand Design, Creative Platforms and Systems Design – all orbiting one clear brand meaning and a deliciously distinctive creative idea, shaped, built and orchestrated to pay off in spades across any ecosystem.

1. Brand Design

A brand idea, shaped into an identity people recognise before they've read a word — its expression, its form, its sound, its behaviour, not just its logo. Distinctiveness isn't an embellishment. It's the whole brand meaning personified.

2. Creative Platforms

Creative Platforms build on the core of a conceptual idea and expresses it across any channel. Not every idea needs a platform to spike; a strong one just makes the spike land harder. Most brands don't break at the top; they break at their weakest touchpoint. This is the work that closes the fame gap. AI speeds up the production; craft and judgement still make the call.
