I’ve been working with images, words, and screens for a long time.
Before social media reshaped the landscape, I completed a Masters in Digital Media. It wasn’t about learning software; it was about understanding how digital communication works at a structural level. That perspective has stayed with me, even as the platforms and tools have changed beyond recognition.
The graphic design, the HTML and CSS, the video editing—those I picked up along the way. I started teaching myself design in my twenties because I wanted to complete the picture. If I had a website, I wanted to understand why the layout worked or didn’t. If I had a photograph, I wanted to know how to place type next to it properly. That curiosity never really left.
My photography training came later at TAFE NSW. That gave me a grounding in light, composition, and how to make people feel comfortable in front of a lens. It’s still how I approach most projects: get the real thing right first, then build around it.
What this means practically is that I can handle a project from several angles. I can film and edit a short video, design the page, build the site, and take the photograph that holds it all together. Not because I’m trying to do everything, but because I’ve spent years connecting those dots and I know how they affect each other.
I’m not chasing trends or promising to reinvent your brand. I just bring a careful eye, a bit of technical know-how, and the kind of reliability that comes from having done this work across different eras, formats, and industries.
If that sounds useful, I’d like to hear from you.
