In 2019 I studied at Te Pūkenga (the Ōtago Polytechnic) toward a certificate in visual design and digital media. this really snowballed my journey into creative pursuits. 

In 2019 I also studied at Te Pūkenga (the Ōtago Polytechnic) toward a certificate in visual art. This  changed my practice adding art into my visual design tool belt. 

The following three years of my my life consisted of various client projects and visual communication assignments helping me grow as a creative. Here I was challenged with understanding the deeper values and reasons behind each creative decision. I was a successful student graduating with distinction, receiving two design awards during my time here.

Over the past two years, I have led the development of clear, engaging communications and visual materials to support the successful transition into the New Dunedin Hospital. My work has included designing accessible illustrations, videos, and digital content to explain new models of care, patient journeys, and hospital innovations. I created branding and visual guidelines aligned with Health New Zealand standards, developed a SharePoint site and staff resources to support operational readiness, and produced social media updates and event materials to engage the community. I also supported ministerial and stakeholder engagements with tailored visuals and storytelling, helping strengthen public understanding and staff preparedness for the new hospital.

Worked along side some awesome creatives for this prestigious magazine during my time studying communication design. This project was a challenge as I was tasked with putting together illustrations and designs with as little as three days notice making time management crucial. https://www.instagram.com/criticmag/
