About me - a visual timeline

Early years
NSW Australia
Growing up on the Central Coast of Australia, I developed an early sense of responsibility and adaptability. While working for a local retail chain alongside my schooling, I noticed how the layout and feel of a space could influence behaviour and mood.

USA Experience
St. Louis, Missouri, USA
After graduating from high school, I travelled to the United States to work as a YMCA camp counsellor. Immersed in a multicultural environment, I learned the value of inclusivity, communication, and shared experiences - lessons that would later shape my design philosophy.

Life in Germany
Ramstein, Germany
A personal connection brought me to Germany, where I began working as a Local National for the U.S. Armed Forces. Living in Europe has given me access to diverse design influences -from historical architecture to contemporary minimalism.

Global Travel
Travels across several continents
Living in the heart of Europe and sharing a love of travel with my partner, I have been lucky enough to experience many different cultural narratives, material traditions, and ways of living, all of which now inform my creative decision-making.

Entrepreneurial Insight
Business & Product Development
Supporting my partner’s journey in founding two companies with products recognised for innovation has given me valuable insight into product design, market positioning, and the power of a clear concept. Insights I now integrate into my own design thinking.
