a bit about me

Let’s get this out of the way first: I’m a qualified chartered accountant.

Yes, I was once company secretary for a Melbourne Accountancy Firm. Know what I loved most about it? Choosing the font and the stationery for the monthly board reports.

That was a big clue. Needless to say, I retrained in graphic design and have since worked in studios in Brisbane, Barcelona and Perth. My current solo venture is k design + things in Fremantle, where I’ve found my calling as a designer, stylist and maker.

A few of my favourite things: typography, edible flowers, foraged branches, knockout logos, paper creations, up-cycled whimsy, silk screens, haiku, paint pens, pooches. I also love working collaboratively and making an ethical contribution to the world.

At k design + things I do everything from branding to shop front displays, brochure design and event styling. (Yes, I can arrange the blooms.) I bring my graphic designer’s instinct for good looks and balance to everything I do. Then I add the k factor. That’s shorthand for hitting the right tone and keeping things delightfully simple.

I work with corporates, arty types, festivals, foodies, small business and individuals – anyone in need of some aesthetic magic or a visual facelift.

Show me a project, I’ll make it sing!
