What I'm looking for

I’m looking for hybrid or remote opportunities in Melbourne where I can lead branding and communications—designing event-ready websites, social content, and campaign assets, and turning customer feedback into stronger UI/UX.

I’m a lead designer and communications specialist focused on branding that works in the real world—especially for events, websites, and client-facing documentation. In my current consulting role, I lead the creation and application of branding and website design, and I work directly with clients across specialty industries.

I bring a strong communications backbone through writing and marketing work, including media releases and communication articles, plus invoice and contract management. I also curate content and plan strategy for social platforms, using social media analytics and digital campaign management to keep messaging effective.

Beyond design, I’m comfortable guiding people and collaborating under pressure. I’ve led dialogue-heavy tours, processed guest bookings and requests, and supported coordination for guest experiences—skills that translate into clear, confident communication in client and team environments.

I’m passionate about producing high-quality graphics and content that engages and resonates. I’m currently building broader capability in UI/UX and web wireframes, and I’m open to hybrid (remote) opportunities based in Melbourne, Australia.
