hello!

I am a graphic designer based in Sydney. I have experience creating print, digital, textile and visual merchandising design. Currently, I am Senior Book Designer at Walker Books Australia, creating beautiful fiction, illustrated fiction and picture books with heart and class. I am privileged to be able to put both my design and illustrations skills to use, day-to-day.

Previously at Scholastic, I worked as a Licensed Designer creating a variety of formats for big brands including Disney, Marvel, Mattel and DC Comics. I was able to work on best-selling series including Paris Takes Over the World, and WeirDo and HotDog (series designed by Nicole Stofberg).

I was shortlisted in the ABDA 69th Book Design Awards for Best Designed Illustrated Childrens Book for ‘Scary Bird’, written, illustrated and co-designed by Michel Streich.

I have illustrated two childrens picture books entitled ‘Grandmas Are Lovely’ (2020) written by Meredith Costain, and ‘Happy Mother’s Day’ (2021) written lovingly by kids for their mums. A third is currently in the works!

I love rummaging through op shops, pottering in the garden with my chooks, painting native flora, cuddling my cavoodle, and exploring national park hikes with my husband.
