I adore working one on one with clients and really get excited about the challenge of creating the perfect design solution for them- my goal is to knock their socks off in the prettiest way!  I like to use clean, classic typography with a twist of color, interesting fonts and beautiful imagery to draw people in. I think design should always have a little charm to really give a sense of personality.

I love designing a wide range of material as it allows me to be flexible and spread my ideas over different media. I also like the challenge of coming up with new ways to display information- anything is possible! 

Fun Facts:

• I love to design anything from identity design (logos, business cards + more) editorial design, invitations, catalogues, cards, posters…. actually I'll have a go at anything you can dream up!

• I love it all but I really adore doing the little special bits like product tags, labels, little notecards
   and such. 

• Interior design excites me too- wall graphics, art prints, displays, signage-
   I'd love to decorate a shop one day.

• I'm into a huge range of graphic styles, but my current fave would be combining whimsical
   vintage with modern design styles.

 My Design Background:

I completed a Bachelor of Design majoring in Graphic Design in New Zealand in 2009. I've always loved illustration and thought about doing it as my major, but I felt that graphic design would give me a wider skill-set, and I could illustrate alongside it. And I'm in love with design anyway :) I decided in my fourth and final year of my degree that I didn't want to work in a massive advertising agency or corporate design firm- but to design for real people with big dreams: the boutique owners, the bloggers, the entrepreneurs, the up and coming bands, the crafters and the everyday people who just want something pretty for themselves or their loved ones.

I love the process of talking to someone about their endeavor's and their visions for them; and coming up with a design solution that's tailor-made for that vision. I aim to create visual material that's unique, fresh and beautiful; but with a quirk or a twist for a bit of difference.
