My Story – From the Australian Outback to the UK, now based in South Australia. I grew up in the remote Northern Territory, where my father’s work as an aerial crop duster and his love of Land Rovers and classic cars sparked a sense of adventure. Later, we moved to the Norfolk countryside in England, where I developed a love for nature and the arts. My education took me to London, where I studied at Camberwell College of Arts and discovered the world of typography, bookbinding, and printing — especially the satisfying process of working with hot metal presses. Living in London was a creative dream, surrounded by history and innovation. I lived North, South, East and West of the city, including on a Dutch barge in Chelsea, and worked on exciting design projects that shaped my professional approach. Now based in the Adelaide, my journey between Australia and the UK informs my design work, blending influences from both worlds. While my roots are in England, South Australia is home, its landscape and vibrant arts scene continue to inspire my creative process.
