About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I want to experience new ways of life and meet moreamazing an d different people.

ABOUT ME

I'm a graphic designer from Melbourne, I've just quit my job to hopefully expand my skills. I love to have a giggle, make stupid and lame jokes and just hang-out in my pajamas.Im pretty darn easy to please, I love a quiet cup of tea and some crochet just as much as I love a big night out on the town. Im traveling now in 2014 to build a folio of work and also just have some fun :) I am also particularly green, I want to do my bit for for the environment, and then make up for the people who dont do anything. I won't preach but its always on my mind!I want to be a part of the global community, there are so many means of communication in this digital age we live in nowadays, its so much easier to create and build relationships.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm very excited to learn about the world through others and the lives of real people. I want to feel less like a tourist and really experience the culture of all my destinations.

Music, Movies, and Books

Basically all the good ones!!So many! Im currently catching up on '30 rock' episodes, Big fan of Tina Fey right now. Also just finished 'Parks and Recreation' and 'The office.' I Think The walking dead is quality watching as well.I want to see the new Miranda July movie that has just come out in Australia as well - "The Future" it looks fantastic! I recently saw "The help" with Emma stone, I enjoyed that too. Oh and the new Tin Tin movie! I love old musicals as well... And superhero movies. Yes. I am a big Harry Potter fan.princess bride, singing in the rain, Music....Right now I'm listening to Sia. I like alternative pop music, Indie rock, Bands like The Smiths and The cure. Phoenix are pretty high on the list too. Electronic and alternative as well.heres a list- The beach boys, The beatles, The Whitlams. Stevie Wonder, Irma Thomas, Otis Redding, Wilson Pickett, Crystal Fighters, El Guincho, Florence and the Machine, Cut Copy, Gotye, Pulp, Bjork, The Flaming Lips, Interpol, Kate Bush, Regina Spektor.Thats pretty much my current listening list. But my taste varies near and far. Always looking for new things to try out and add to my library.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'm actually constantly amazed at the area I grew up in. Out on a mountain in the outer suburbs of melbourne. A huge national park rain forest. I love taking friends there who grew up in suburbia and watch their jaw drop.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you crafty things! I love to be creative and artistic and make things for the home. I know a lot of photoshop and Illustrator. I can tell you about photos and design.
