Graphic Designer and Radio Producer

Design & Creative

Education (University of Newcastle)
Employer University of Newcastle
Location Newcastle & Hunter Australia

I've got a design degree under my belt along with over 4 years experience working as a radio producer for this country's most trusted media network - the ABC.

I'm in love with typography; I foray into photography and various forms of moving pictures, and I live and breathe design.

I'm a really hard worker - my distinction average at uni as well as my marks at high school (dux of every year) - are testament to that fact. I love sinking my teeth into a good challenge, and I am a fierce learner.

I'm passionate and dedicated, and I would love the opportunity to offer, increase and refine my skills.
