Student Biography

When were you born?

I was born on the 3rd of December 1986.

What is your background?

I am Australian, I was born in country Victoria. I spent time living in Samoa and eventually moved to Sydney, where I currently reside.

What inspired you to become an artist or designer?

Making art is one of the only things that allows me to experience every emotion and feeling at once: happiness, sadness, adrenalin, anxiety, accomplishment… never a dull moment.

That’s most likely the biggest reason I pursued the arts.

Who would you like to work in collaboration with or create something for?

I would love to work in collaboration with the music industry and more specifically for magazines such as Rolling Stone.

How has your work evolved over the past 3 years?

I began my studies as a painting/drawing major, where I believe I picked up a keen eye for composition. It was skills such as this, which I brought into my second year of studies, transferring into a photo media major. My work has evolved rapidly from the canvas to the camera, both technically and conceptually.

How can art and design contribute to society?

Art, I believe, makes you THINK and FEEL. These are important aspects for any society.

Where would you like to work after university?

In an ideal world I would love to be a successful freelance photographer. I would love to dabble in the photographic side of the music and fashion industry, working with magazines, labels etc.
