About

I’m a creative problem solver, storyteller, and designer with a Bachelor of Communication Design (distinction) from Otago Polytechnic. As a freelance graphic designer, I help brands and individuals around the world bring big ideas to life through bold, meaningful design. From brand identities to playful packaging and everything in between, I create visuals that connect and leave a lasting impression. On the side, I run a custom playing cards business, a fun passion project that combines my love for design and storytelling. Driven by curiosity and always learning, I thrive in positive, supportive environments and believe in enjoying life’s simple moments along the way. Let’s connect and create something great together, no matter where you are!
