Tell us about your career and how you ended up in the nutrition space ?
After completing my Bachelor in Communication and Design , I wanted to see and experience something magical and unique in the world before settling down into what I heard was a crazy lifestyle of long hours as a designer … So I did . I packed a bag and went to live in Oxford , England with my sister for 9 months . We lived and worked in a backpackers ' and explored nearby destinations when we could . With this experience ticked off my bucket list , I came home ready to don my ‘ adult ’ hat and begin a professional career .
I started off as a Junior Graphic Designer with an Australian clothing label . I learned the ropes and worked closely with different team members in the production house . Over the years I have moved between retail brands , always opting to join their internal teams with the intention of leaving a positive mark on the business and the people that drive it .
What attracted you to working at Dietitian Connection ?
I was fortunate to be introduced to Maree some years ago and she asked me to design some creative assets for a workshop she was co-presenting . We stayed in contact – and what started off as a request for a handful of design pieces here and there blossomed into a friendship and steady flow of exciting initiatives and creative projects .
I have been freelancing for DC for seven years now and am extremely excited to be joining the team ( officially ) on a full-time basis . I am so proud to be a part of this community of positive change and look forward to seeing where the ripples and waves take us . I do feel a little like a fish out of water , being surrounded by such an experienced group of individuals in the nutrition landscape , but as the saying goes … it is out of this comfort zone where the magic happens .
