New ZealandWhat I'm looking for
I'm a multidisciplinary creative designer and marketing strategist with over 15 years of experience blending creativity, strategy, and leadership. My journey has seen me lead creative teams, develop cohesive brand narratives, and deliver marketing strategies that connect with audiences. I thrive on delivering marketing strategies that inspire action and drive results.
Throughout my career, I have successfully managed all creative assets and marketing campaigns for events like One Love Festival, growing it from inception to a seven-figure business in just three years. My expertise in Adobe Creative Suite, Figma, and Final Cut Pro allows me to translate ideas into visual stories that resonate with diverse audiences.
As the founder of Provide Platform, I streamlined casual labour hire in New Zealand, managing marketing campaigns and UX design. I have also developed large-scale event campaigns, driving strong engagement through innovative digital and physical marketing strategies. My passion for design innovation and brand development continues to fuel my work.
