About

Digital designer with agency experience across brand systems, responsive web design and animation. Recently delivered design systems and campaign assets at Love + Money (Melbourne), managing several live projects for lifestyle and tech clients. Comfortable working independently from early concept through to final delivery, with strong skills in Figma, Adobe Creative Suite and motion. I care about the impact of what I put out into the world and want to use design to support work that matters.
