Passion Snowboarding and Kick ass design!
Role model(s) Everyday people, everyone's full of useful inspiration!
How did you get to where you are? I started by drawing all over the walls and doors at home and progressed from there! Got a degree in drinking at Nottingham Uni and started working in Print then moved to multimedia design.
How did you find the move from the London design industry to the Sydney design industry? mmm! London is a lot faster, bigger design projects and a lot more competition, but the weather is shit and no-one speaks to you, gotta love London! So it was easy to fit in and slow the pace down a little, I miss all the guys back home though!
Do you find it makes a difference being a female art director? Design is a very male dominated industry, but I think that's changing now, especially with the looks us girls can dish out!! It was hard to start off with being a female in design and always being asked if the work you have done is actually yours, it just makes you push back harder!
