Passionate about the creative arts, I see design as the development of meaningful real-world solutions and delight in the building up of a concept before then bringing it to life. As a zealous list-maker, I am keenly aware that my strengths lie in a process driven approach and consider this an integral part of any project I tackle. Eager and enthusiastic, I find myself drawn to a broad scope of disciplines, including residential and commercial design, branding and graphics.

One which seeks to conjure up a raw and emotional response through a physical reflection of the journey faced by newcomers.

USER EXPERIENCE Wa l k i n g i n t o t h e s p a c e , t h e participant is surrounded by harsh undulating walls that shrink and stretch, ceilings that cave in and a floor that gives out. The corridor-like space is characterized by sharp turns and even a dead end, bringing them face-to-face with a window into the w a t e r o f t h e Ya r r a .
recorded sounds of rain are repeated, echoing throughout the space, drowning out and consuming pretty much everything else

Ta s k e d w i t h r e - i m a g i n i n g t h e b o l l a r d s s p r e a d across the city in the wake of the Bourke St massacre, the very event was at the forefront of this piece. With the result heavily based off the lives that were so cruelly taken that fateful day. This metaphorical and deeply personal structure would not only serve as a public defense, but also a tribute of remembrance and a continuous reminder of our solidarity.

With the task of creating an atrium space - in the likes of a gallery, hotel lobby or private residence - and with my newly developed 3Ds Max skills, I went about producing a space that was captivating and light filled. The results of which became my submission piece for the 2017 ‘Intro Exhibit’.
