About me

Gender Female
Industry Arts
Occupation Creative Director/Studio Manager
Location Brisbane, Australia
Introduction I am a creative industry professional of 25 years, and I work as a hands on design supervisor for a Museum with a team of two staff. Currently I am studying a Masters of Digital Design at Uni majoring in Motion and Education Design. I am inspired by beautiful and meaningful concept images, motion and interactive graphics whether it be games, stunning apps like Al Gore's Our Choices by Push Pop Press or beautifully crafted and directed 3D movies like Nickelodean's, Rango. The never ending evolution of computer graphic technology has me completely wired up and plugged in. If I am not working or doing Uni assignments I am busy playing with my camera, shooting landscapes and soon to be shooting macro as well. I'm inspired by nature, the ocean, the sky, landscapes, plants and capturing the peace and stillness of moments in time. For the rest of the year I plan to photograph macro and landscape imagery and learn how to use Lightroom to catalogue my images (between preparing assignments for Uni of course!!) so watch this space.
Interests Digital Art, Photography, Animation and Motion Graphics.
Favorite Movies anything with great cgi and 3d animation
Favorite Music Cafe del mar, Aria II, composed by Charles Schwartz. Where classical music meets the sea.
Favorite Books Happy Hector by Polly Dunbar. And the Charlie and Lola books by Lauren Childs. I prefer children's picture books to adult fiction. Mainly because I am attracted to illustration. Shaun Tan's, The Arrival is also one of my fav's. (No words!) And back in the old days I was fascinated by Graeme Base – Animalia. There was nothing like it at the time.
