What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters creativity and innovation, where I can contribute to impactful design projects and collaborate with diverse teams.

I am a creative and results-oriented designer with more than three years of experience in graphic and industrial design. My diverse educational background, which includes an Advanced Diploma in Graphic Design and a Bachelor of Science in Industrial Design, allows me to approach projects with a unique blend of artistic creativity and functional design thinking. I am dedicated to pushing the boundaries of design to create memorable and impactful visual experiences.

Throughout my career, I have played a key role in various projects ranging from branding and marketing collateral to product packaging and industrial prototypes. My experience includes working as a Sales and Marketing Coordinator at Canberra Toyota, where I developed digital and print marketing materials and maintained the dealership's website. Additionally, I gained hands-on experience as a Graphic Design Intern at Communities at Work, where I collaborated on various design projects and contributed to the company's annual report.
