Hello - it's great to meet you.

I'm a creative based in Sydney, working across photography, videography, industrial design, art direction, and writing. I studied Industrial Design (Honours) at UNSW, and since then I've worked with people, brands, and organisations to bring their creative visions into the world - translating experiences, ideas, and intentions into physical and digital things. Each discipline feeds the others, together they build something cohesive.

Mycelia House

I'm fascinated by fungi - the way it grows and quietly connects all living things. In 2020, for my major Industrial Design project, I designed a system to grow mushrooms at home: Mycelia House. It combines the ancient materiality of clay with 3D printing technology, and has since received funding through the Powerhouse Museum's Carl Nielsen Accelerator to go into development and production.

Mycelia House launches in 2026 - and I can't wait for people to have them in their homes and grow their own food. mycelia-house.com →

Vert Design

Since 2022, I've been part of the team at Vert Design, leading outbound communications - managing their socials and website, writing and curating content across all projects, creating company documents, and building partnerships.

Photography

Photography has been part of my life since I can remember. I grew up around both of my parents as professional photographers - weddings, family sessions, portraits, corporate events, and my dad's early work as a surf photographer. As a kid I'd join him at sunrise, and I fell in love with capturing light and water through slow shutter speeds. I joined my parents to support with photo and video work while at university.

As I began travelling more, my focus shifted toward documenting people and places through portraiture. Around the same time I was working with local businesses on their visual identity and online presence - and from that, offerings like Spirit Portraits Experience and Brand Essence Capture grew naturally. Each one shaped by something I personally wanted to explore, or a space where I noticed someone needed support, connection, or a different kind of experience.

Today, my favourite things to capture are people and nature, creative process and movement.

Creative Sessions

A creative birthing space - three dedicated sessions where I hold you and your vision with full presence, moving from the felt sense of an idea to something you can see, share, and step into. For founders, creatives, and business owners at any stage. Find out more →

Yoga

I've been teaching yoga for several years, offering yin, meditation, kriya, and vinyasa. You'll find me at Maroubra Seals most weekends, and I also run seasonal beach classes along the Maroubra shoreline - a favourite way to bring practice into the open air and the elements.

I love weaving yoga into everything I do - including my photography sessions, where it creates a grounded, supported space for the people I work with.
