Eightarms
Eightarms is my capstone UX project exploring inequality in the workplace and creative ways to challenge it. The project uses emotive illustrations and fishing-themed ‘hooks’ to draw men in and encourage engagement with the topic.

The Sprinkle Factory
For The Sprinkle Factory, I created the brand from the ground up. Designing a full brand identity with a new logo and colour scheme. I baked all the products, photographed them, and built the brand-new website myself, bringing every element of the brand to life.

Sweet Moments Group
When I joined Sweet Moments Group, I developed the full design concept for the new website. Using Figma, I crafted a cohesive visual direction and worked closely with our web developer to bring the site to life, culminating in the successful launch of the new brand.

Chocolate Brown
After acquiring Chocolate Brown, I redesigned the entire Shopify website from the ground up. I captured all new product photography and curated the site to reflect our refreshed branding. I continue to maintain and update the website regularly, leveraging my familiarity with Shopify to ensure it remains cohesive and on-brand.

Photography
Photography is a core part of my creative process. I prefer using high-quality, authentic images to showcase a product in its best light, rather than relying heavily on Photoshop or digital effects. Capturing the essence of the subject through thoughtful composition and lighting allows the work to speak for itself.
From Galley to Gallery
With twelve years as a Navy chef and experience running my own café and bakery in Takapuna, I bring a deep understanding of food and presentation to my photography. Being able to create the product and then photograph everything brings an element of exclusivity to my work. I focus on capturing the quality, texture, and detail of each photo, utilising my eye for creativity in everything I produce.
