Background
With a background in Multimedia Design and Internet Communications, I have a keen interest in the intersection of arts and technology.
In 2022, I embarked on a career shift into coding, completing a Diploma of IT in Web Development in 2023, and gaining foundational planning, design, and implementation skills across a range of technologies, from shell scripts, to static websites, databases, and full-stack web applications.
I'm passionate about combining my creative and technical skills with expertise in the social and commercial applications of the web to create engaging and impactful digital experiences.
Experience
My experience as a digital communications professional has included a wide range of roles including multimedia and digital design, 3D modelling and rendering, market research, web content management, and digital marketing.
Across these roles, I've made creative use of visual design, messaging, and web development skills to connect businesses with customers via websites, social media, email, and paid search.
As a developer, I aim to bring my prior skills and experience together with the discipline of software engineering, to meaningfully solve problems for users of the products I help to build.

More about me
My interests and hobbies outside of web development include drawing, reading, music, video games, and photography.
I've been a lover of books from a young age, and enjoy a wide range of reads including fantasy and science fiction, literary novels, and humour. I enjoy listening to and playing music when I have the chance, having played cello through school and taken up the guitar as a teen.
I love drawing, both digitally and traditionally, and have tried to maintain a sketchbook every year for the past 10 years or so. I've also recently taken up photography. Gaming is one of my favourite pastimes — though I have much less time for it now! I enjoy adventure games with rich worlds to explore.
I also have a love of beautiful design and the visual arts, particularly illustration and animation. Check out my previous digital design portfolio to see some of my visual design work.
