Currently I am (mostly) a stay at home Mumma of two young boys, dabbling in freelance styling and art direction. Former Art Director of Metro Magazine, situated in Auckland. ‘Best Magazine Design’ winner, 2018 Voyager Media Awards. ‘Best Designer’ and ‘Best Cover’ winner, 2018 Webstar Magazine Publisher Awards (Current Affairs, Business & Trade category). Previously based in London for five years, as Senior Graphic Designer for successful British clothing brand. Prior to that worked in publishing, for two well-loved NZ interior magazines. Graphic skills are in both print and digital design, from creative concept to execution.

Interested in interiors, art, fashion, photography and food. Can often be found strolling the streets admiring cute houses. Or gazing up at the clouds. Enjoys running, and finds pleasure in cafe-hopping to seek out a good coffee, accompanied by a delicious pastry in equally nice surroundings. (These days it helps if they are kid friendly… and near a playground.)
