What you should know about me as An Aspiring art director.
My energy tends to arrive before I d0.
It’s big, a little chaotic and, according to some very generous people, funny (I’ll let you decide). Rather than trying to contain it, I’ve learnt to lean into it. I would describe myself as a people person, I thrive meeting new people and have a habit of leaving a lasting impression, although whether that’s because I’m memorable or simply difficult to forget is still up for debate.
i’m naturally curious. it shapes how i think and create.
I try to live life to the fullest, saying yes to new experiences, new challenges and whatever adventure comes next. After graduating high school, I spent two years living and working at a pub in a small town called Witney, just outside of Oxford. Along the way, I acquired a taste for beer, developed a love for the Premier League and dabbled in a bit of travel, 23 countries, to be exact (some of them twice). Travel taught me to embrace the unfamiliar, connect with people from different walks of life.
I’m not one to shy away from a challenge…
Some of my favourite memories have come from stepping outside my comfort zone, saying yes and figuring things out along the way. I’ve never been afraid to give something a try, even when I’ve got no idea where I’m going. I’d rather take a chance, learn something and see what happens.

I bleed black and white
Darley has always been home. It’s the club I grew up playing for, and it’s where I spend my weekends. It’s where I’ve celebrated premierships, learned the value of teamwork and discovered that I can’t kick a footy to save my life. Let’s just say I’ve managed to miss from the goal square... more than once.

my daily grind
Coffee has been a big part of my life, I've spent years behind the coffee machine as a barista. It's taught me how to connect with people, stay calm under pressure and work in a fast paced environment. My coffee order? An oat iced latte. Rain, hail or shine.

Always making lemonade
I think it's important to laugh, I’m a strong believer that life is far more enjoyable when you can embrace the questionable decisions, the unexpected moments and, in my case, a really bad haircut.

with my best friends
I value the people around me. My friends and family keep me grounded, make me laugh and remind me not to take life too seriously. They’re the people I celebrate with, learn from and make memories with.
My Current Side Quest
Every now and then I aim to learn something new, no matter how random. This time, it’s the harmonica. I can confidently play the first 30 seconds of Piano Man. I’m still working on the other 4 minutes.
