Get in touch
I am currently accepting commissions for smaller freelance design projects, such as short reports, fact sheets, brochures, infographics, small business branding, and posters, marketing materials and programs for events.
I prefer to initially meet with my clients in person (in Canberra) to understand your project and needs, to provide you with a meaningful quote, and build a collaborative approach. To manage my cashflow and risks as a sole trader, I require 50% deposit before commencing any design work. I assure you that I have never failed to deliver an agreed project.
To enquire about hiring me to design your project, drop me a line with your details and message and I will get back to you as soon as I can. I look forward to hearing from you!
Social ethics and environmental sustainability
I believe we all need to be responsible to people and the planet for the choices we make and the impacts of those choices and actions. I choose to use my creative superpowers for good, so I will not work on projects that promote gambling, alcohol or drugs, frivolous consumption, fossil fuels, weapons or violence, deforestation and so on.
I welcome and respect clients from all walks of life - diversity of experience and perspectives enriches us all.
I provide advice to clients about environmentally sustainable communications solutions such as digital vs hard copy, printing on sustainably sourced papers, avoiding non-recyclable materials (eg magnets), print-on-demand for small quantities. I like to support other local small businesses for anything I outsource. My business cashflow runs through Bank Australia and Australian Ethical Superannuation, and I routinely donate a portion of my income to selected environmental organisations.
