WHAT I DO

Brand Storyteller / Creative Director / Marketing & Comms / Bricoleuse

Using bespoke WORDS + pictures, a lot of motivational energy + CREATIVE FLARE, I help hard-working entrepreneurs, small businesses, not-for-profits and organisations tell their brand’s story.

As a wordsmith and photographer, and a bit of a bricoleuse (all-rounder), I focus on crafting a compelling authentic narrative that sets my clients apart from the crowd.

I’m all about using carefully curated words and images to put more of YOU into your business.

ABOUT MY GEAR

I use a fast desktop loaded with Adobe Creative Suite {Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Acrobat Pro} + Office plus an all-important external hard-drive backup.

ABOUT ME

I love nothing more than to capture in words and pictures the authentic beauty + joie de vivre of everyday life + love + human endeavour.

I was born into a sixth-generation wool-farming family that first settled in the pastoral lands surrounding foodie town Kyneton in the 1800s. Education and the pursuit of a career took me to the city where I completed a BA (Hons), an MA and a PhD at The University of Melbourne - as well as a couple of Graduate Diplomas in health education & promotion.

Whilst I loved my daily promenade beneath the canopy of the University's stately hallways and leafy grounds and relished the opportunity to open my mind to amazing ideas and inspiring people, I yearned for a studio of my own.

So, I now enjoy freelancing in the fresh country air of my homeland in the Macedon Ranges. Life has turned full circle and I’m back where my soul has been waiting for me all along – in the country.
