I’m a career designer driven by curiosity and problem-solving. In recent years, I‘ve focused my attention on the building industry as an Architectural REVIT Technician. I’ve had the opportunity to work at highly regarded boutique residential design studios, such as Thomas Archer in Melbourne and Adam Hobill Design in Canberra.

Additionally, I’ve worked in the signage manufacturing industry, where I was integrally involved in the production of airport promotions for international liquor and perfume brands, as well as national retail signage rollouts and exhibition design.

I’m currently looking for opportunities to join a like-minded and energetic creative team. I’m excited to connect over a coffee at your convenience.
