What do you tell people at awkward speed dating events?

I tell them I am an aspiring graphic designer who is creatively driven and passionate.
Or I’ll talk about food.

Where were you before Freckle, and why the change?

Before Freckle I had finished my second internship as a designer, and I was on the hunt for ‘the job’. Luckily Freckle came around right at the perfect time… maybe it was meant to be!

What are your strengths and ‘quirknesses’?

I pride myself on my ability to listen, visualise and solve problems with my own
creative flare. A quirkiness of mine is probably that I’m pretty handy at playing the flute.

What’s the fuel for your design engine?

I draw inspiration from my everyday life, but a driving factor has absolutely been my family. We are a family of seven and all of us are creative, my dad is an architect, my mum a ceramist, my sister an interior designer, my twin an architect, my brother a painter and my other brother a musician. After you’ve figured out how to draw my family tree you will realise I had no choice!

Where do you see yourself in 5 minutes? 5 days?

In 5 minutes, I hope to be jamming to my favourite song at the moment (The Adults Are Talking – The Strokes) on my way to get a coffee, hopefully in the sunshine. In 5 days, fingers crossed it’s Friday afternoon and I see myself signing off after another informative and productive week with the Freckle crew. If I’m lucky I’m off to a delish dinner somewhere where a Negroni will be waiting for me.

Who’s your design/creative hero?

Either Julian Meagher – a fine artist based in Sydney who paints beautiful abstract landscapes, or Bruce Duckworth – Co-Founder and Co-Chairman of Turner Duckworth, who has been a great mentor of mine.

What could Freckle clients ask you about, that you could expertly talk about
for an hour?

My mother would like me to say her and I think I would do pretty well at that but there’s a couple of other things I could nail too. Such as what it’s like to be a twin and the youngest of five, the Harry Potter movies or my favourite sports (tennis, surfing, rugby, golf).

What will your next ‘Freckfest’ talk be titled?

My next Freckfest talk would be titled "How to eat anything and everything".
