As Creative Director for Webb’s, a prestigious luxury auction house in Auckland, I honed my skills in curating exceptional experiences that blend artistry with high-end commerce. I have led nationwide marketing campaigns, crafted compelling visual narratives, and collaborated with renowned artists and collectors, ensuring that auctions tell a captivating story that resonates with the discerning clientele.

During my formative years as Art Director and Designer for Wonderland Magazine, I creatively produced and art directed striking fashion editorials and cover shoots. My role extended to still life art direction, where I collaborated closely with luxury beauty brands to craft visually captivating imagery. This expertise extended to Man About Town and Rollacoaster, shaping the visual landscape of contemporary fashion and lifestyle media.

I played a pivotal role in launching Amazing Magazine, collaborating with esteemed women in the industry to create a vibrant platform celebrating diverse voices and perspectives. My design work focused on crafting a visually striking identity for the magazine, encompassing everything from editorial layouts to promotional materials. By fostering collaboration and innovation, I helped establish Amazing Magazine as a fresh and inspiring addition to the media landscape, highlighting the achievements and stories of remarkable women.


At Material Organisation, I honed my creative skills while collaborating with luxury brands and prestigious publications, including On The Rocks, New York Design Center, and William & Son. This immersed me into the world of high-end design, where I worked closely with esteemed photographers, set designers and directors. Through innovative projects and creative partnerships, I developed a strong foundation in visual storytelling that continues to influence my work today.
