Supporting the Creative Sector

During my 20+ years working as a photographer in the visual arts, it became clear that creatives need professional development to support their practice in an increasingly digital and marketing-heavy environment. As a skilled communicator and educator, I have honed my offerings to meet the changing needs and workplaces of creative industries, including artists, designers, freelancers, and small businesses.

I bring my passion for developing the creative sector with both capacity building and practical skills. All workshops for existing organisations can be tailored to suit your group’s needs and strategic outcomes. For individuals wanting to attend public workshops, please subscribe to my newsletter for upcoming dates.

Fremantle Design Week 2024

February 2025 Workshops

I’m thrilled to be hosting two connected workshops in February as part of Design Freo.

These two deep dive, full focus sessions are tailored for arts and culture practitioners, design professionals and freelancer/sole traders.

They’re designed to be attended as a pair (10% discount when you register for both), however they are complete standalone workshops if you can’t make it to both.

Workshops have a maximum of 12 participants. Registration is essential.
