About Graphic Design
I’ve been designing brands for more than 10 years and over the last 6 years my focus has been on working with authors, coaches and consultants in the wellness and self awareness/development industry. I’m fascinated by the work they do and want to support these businesses because they help their clients live more meaningful lives.
I’m grateful to have worked with clients from the UK, Germany, USA, Bali and Australia. Please email me to see my portfolio.
MY JOURNEY
Inspired to grow and willing to learn.
I’ve had some wonderful experiences on my journey so far and know that I still have much to learn. This year I’m starting a new chapter and taking a leap to pursue something that’s been calling to me for a long time…
I grew up painting from the age of 2. My first canvas was our living room wall and the medium used was poo. A bit yuck I know, but it’s true. After that Mum started buying me crayons and paint.
So drawing, painting and playing in nature have always been a part of my life. It’s how my family know me. It’s how I know myself. In hindsight it seems natural that I pursued a career in graphic design.
What a lot of people don’t know about me is that when I was 17 I was accepted to study psychology at university. I decided to go traveling for a year and when I returned I decided to pursue 2D and 3D design instead.
It’s no surprise to me I’ve come full circle (a couple of 7 year life cycles later). Enrolling to study a Masters in Counselling makes sense. Over the last 6 years I have immersed myself into a deep healing journey of clearing limiting beliefs, changing destructive patterns and addictive behaviours and learning how to love and accept myself. When I began this healing journey I decided to devote my design career to helping people who help others.
Since embarking on my own healing and self development journey, I have designed brands for life coaches, bodyworkers, massage therapists, breath-workers, transformational voice coaches, women’s empowerment leaders, book writing mentors, feminine embodiment teachers, transformational facilitators, relationship counsellors, and health coaches.
Each time I design one of these brands I’m reminded of my love for hearing peoples stories and helping them to express themselves and connect. I’ve always loved learning about human behaviour and it seems the more I design for these conscious brands, the more I’m reminded to pursue my interest in helping others to discover and share their gifts with the world through creativity and therapy.
I’m curious to explore the overlap between my passion for people and creativity and to see what unfolds along the way. It excites me to be expanding my ability to help others find clarity and express themselves. This is the direction my heart feels inspired to go and no matter where I end up, I’ll be sure to create beautiful things along the way.
