Heya!

I am a Deakin student in the process of completing my Postgraduate Degree of Visual Communications after making the career change from primary school teaching after 4 years in the business. I am now aiming to make my mark communicating visually through graphic design.

I have always loved design, drawing, art and generally just making a mess while experimenting creatively, and am loving university this time around using my strengths as a creative problem solver.

Without trying to sound like a cliche (which I am very aware I do) I enjoy the walks on the beach (even venturing in the water once in a while to surf or swim), yoga, camping and spending time with friends, painting and taking on my own projects, from sewing to restoring furniture and just about anything else I think of (which if I'm honest I don't always finish...).

I live in Geelong with two giant dogs, one of which I look after (Zayda the greyhound), and three other adult humans, one of which is my partner (Tom the human).
