I'm a recent Communication Design graduate (and former communications professional) passionate about design and technology - especially using creativity to solve real-world problems.
My involvement with my university has seen me volunteer at Open Days, contribute illustrations to the student magazine and participate in extracurricular programs - such as the pilot CreateStart program to help independent creatives market themselves. I'm always seeking to expand my knowledge, regularly attending industry events and workshops including those run by the Australian Graphic Design Association, The Design Kids, UX Australia and General Assembly.
Recent achievements include being selected to participate in an exchange program with Parsons School of Design in New York, for which I received the Les Mason and Gail Devine Travel Award based on academic results. I also participated in Illustrators Australia's 2018 'SHOUT' exhibition, winning the award for best student entry.
Throughout my studies I have been employed by Melbourne Water on a casual basis, where my responsibilities have included internal graphic design as well as writing content for the website and employee campaigns.
