After attending architecture school in my home country of Australia, I practiced Architecture in Adelaide and Melbourne for six years, concentrating on civic and public-facing buildings as I was intrigued by how the built form could affect the lives of the people in and around it and wanted to affect those people for the better. Yet after becoming a licensed architect and feeling like my love for being in that profession was waning, I became interested in how the built form could help tell a story and started to dabble with art directing short films in my spare time.

​

After nearly giving my parents a heart attack, I said goodbye to being an Architect. I decided to pursue a career in film and TV design and moved to the Hollywood of Canada, Vancouver, BC. After a lot of hustling, networking, worrying, and eating poutine, I began to land jobs working in the Art Department and then began set designing for TV shows and movies, including 2013's blockbuster, Man of Steel.

​

Then an opportunity arose to immigrate to the US (thanks, Obama!), and I once again packed up and took a giant leap of faith and moved to Los Angeles in 2012 to continue to pursue the silver-screen. Then a temporary job offer at Thinkwell Group side-stepped me into another narrative design industry; themed entertainment and experience design. And it was there that I found my niche in exhibit design as it merged my background in Architecture and my need to tell a story, but in ways that can be truly unique and experimental. So I managed to get myself on every exhibit project for the next five and a half years and learned how to collaborate and communicate effectively with different creatives, technicians, and clients. I lead teams of designers, oversaw installations, and ultimately created impactful spaces that effectively delivered a message.

​

At the end of 2017, I took a step out into the world on my own and began working as a sole-proprietor designer and lent my expertise to businesses and institutions such as the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles and the interactive design studio Second Story, to name a few.

​

In 2018, I relocated to Portland, Oregon, and here I continue to offer my skills and services in all physical experience projects. ​In my free time, I enjoy getting outside, being moved by films and documentaries, exploring new places, finding new beats to groove to, and visiting every possible museum I can (which I hope I can return to doing very soon!).
