CAREER OVERVIEW
Since graduating with a Bachelor of Arts in Visual Communications in 2008, I have managed my own freelance graphic design business, illustrated a number of books, tutored specialist art students and worked with teams running successful Farmers’ Markets. I spent three years in a busy design and print office where customer service, information management and meeting tight deadlines were key.
I've been an integral part of a small, but mighty, Communications team at Waitaki District Council for the past seven years, learning the ins and outs of Local Government, while making sure our messaging is reaching our residents in creative and meaningful ways.
I have professional expertise in visual design media for print and digital publishing I am experienced in website and social media management, video editing, product and event photography, marketing, community engagement, copywriting and editing, reporting and data analysis.
