About

 

A little about me

 

I am a creative with two years of experience in agency-land and a 2022 AWARD School graduate. I have worked with clients including Amart Furniture, General Pants, G.J. Gardner Homes and Marquise Baby.

Only two years into my career, I have worked with two of Brisbane’s leading independent agencies, meaning that I have truly learned from the best of the best. These experiences have formed me into a creative who is passionate about creating content that simply delights my audience. My background in digital marketing means that my creative strategy & ideation process finds the sweet spot between addressing the data, & addressing the needs & wants of the audience.

I was first inspired to work in advertising because I was unhappy with the way women were consistently misrepresented, objectified & stereotyped in ad campaigns. Advertisements have the unique opportunity to both inform and respond to popular culture, which places an enormous responsibility on the shoulders of those who create them. We are all exposed to thousands of advertisements each day, so why not take this opportunity to delight & inspire our audience on the daily?
