Student Biography

What is your background?

I was born and raised in Sydney's south east, close to the bush and beach and I find these environmental aspects and issues strongly influence my work

What inspired you to become an artist or designer?

Ever since I was little I have been re designing layouts and objects around the house. I have also had a keen interest in drawing and art in general so I decided the perfect line of work would be to combine these interests and make a career from them. The career has become a lifestyle and I have never looked back

How has your work evolved over the past 3 years?

I have been studying art and design for the past five years and found I have gained a deeper appreciation for art and design across all fields, taking a multidisciplinary approach to my work and drawing on influences from all aspects of the art and design world. I am always appreciative for what I have, yet I am also always looking for creative ways to improve upon it.

How can art and design contribute to society?

My philosophy in life and my work is that life is a journey not a destination. Design should work to enhance the experience of the user and not merely to provide a means to an end.

Where would you like to work after university?

Following the completion of my degree at the end of 2007, I am excited to pursue work in the areas of spatial /environments design. However I am keen to work collaboratively in or with all fields including graphics, object, print and photography.
