Portfolio (all projects)

Photography. Flash photography is popular. Direct flash is a style that represents the trend for real and lifelike imagery.

People want to see images, photos and designs that are clearly human, made by a human and include real objects. Audiences don't currently want content that is the same AI generated content. People want connection with other humans.

So I'm exploring different direct flash photographic styles.

Photography/video, illustration, design. I'm exploring scribbles and video. This is a current design trend, incorporating scribbles with original photography or video.

Again, this trend is about adding a human touch to designs. I have been using Procreate and Procreate Dreams to play with this.

I have found this a lot of fun and would love to incorporate more of this into future projects.

Illustration. I'm currently creating alphabet prints in Procreate. I started this when my daughter was a baby. I wanted alphabet designs that had colours I thought were bright for my daughter but also looked good in the room. So I started this project.

My style inspiration for these are kawaii and a subtle hint of art deco/art nouveau. The colour palettes are free to use palettes from other artists on Instagram.

I intend to make these available to order individually, as a whole alphabet and custom order (eg for name plaques or prints as well).

Web and editing. Turning a top 10 page (number of visits) of the Bar Council website into the most engaged with section of the website. The becoming a barrister webpage had a high number of visits, but very low engagement – meaning not a lot of people were spending time in or exploring this area of the website. In a project team, we made sure people interested in becoming a barrister were finding these pages and finding what they needed on them. These pages were a great landing page for cross promoting our relevant programmes and events.

Web, editing and design. Creating an event website from launch to post-event comms for prospective clients/audience. I introduced the event microsite to the organisation as the team was using a PDF programme and one calendar page with only basic event detail. I built wireframes, walked the project team through how it works and workshopped content. The site was built with mobile view in-mind so attendees could view the programme at the event on their smart phone. This event site was used as a template for each year's event plus additional large events we organised.

Web and writing. Turning an essay competition page with complex rules, which wasn't providing entrants with the answers they required, into a simplified and more engaging landing page that answers entrants' questions. We increased visits to this page, increased engagement with the competition pages, achieved our objective number of entries and received fewer enquiries about the competition than previous years.

Web. As an employee with the Schools, Students and Teachers Network (SSAT), I built the conference website each year using WordPress. This was a working group of a team of designers, an event project team and the marketing team to manage the event.

In this project, I learnt how to work closely with designers, marketing and the project team to create a simple and easy to use website that looked great and is still a website I'm proud of to this day. The SSAT has rebuilt the website since, so this site is no longer available.

Design and app design. As an employee of the Energy Network Association, I designed the collateral for the 2016 LCNI Conference, an annual conference that hosted approximately 1,300 attendees.

I designed the collateral we used as the event hosts, looked after the website and generated all the content for the app (using a third party developer). Here is a snapshot of the top designs I created for this event: a postcard, banners and posters, the gala dinner ticket, notepads, and the app.

Although this is 10 years old, it shows how innovative and accomplished my work can be when I'm given free reign and the necessary elements to generate designs.

Event and exhibition design is much more sustainability focused now, a lot of event collateral now considers the impact of printing too many designs, event and bag collateral, and building one-off exhibition stands. I take the impact of event collateral on the environment in my design choices.

Design. "Velvet Tongue" was a new event series from the publisher, Little Raven (a former erotic fiction publisher in Melbourne). Erotic fiction writers would read their work on stage, into a microphone. The events would feature performances from published writers but there would also be an open mic opportunities. The performances were mostly humerous and relaxed. People would attend to listen to performances, meet writers and chat.

The Velvet Tongue logo required a sense of humour and to intertwine with the Little Raven logo, with a sense of what the event was and what the subject matter was.

Writing and web. As an employee of the Victorian Institute of Teaching (VIT), Australia, I played a pivotal role in the redevelopment of the website. This was completed in 2015 – it was a big learning curve for me about website design and content.

This is an exported page from the launch. Accessing and using the main portal for teachers, which was also redeveloped. Our previous content around this process was overly complicated and renown for being difficult to use. This page became an important step for teachers to access their registration information and to understand our new website, system and brand.
