JUNE 2016 — JUNE 2017 DESIGNER

Interfab really allowed me to grow into the strong, performance-driven Textile Designer I am today. I was given the opportunity to be one of the lead designers, producing a wide variety of different homewares and Manchester for the mass market; working with some of Australia’s biggest retailers such as Coles, Harris Scarfe, Spotlight and Aldi. As well as being fast passed, this role grew me into an experienced designer who can adapt to the ever changing market and also meeting buyers needs. I also became a vital design team member, mentoring 2 others in their roles.

Working for I.G Design Group was a highly creative and skill-based job where I had a split role of both creating products and finished art. I created Greeting cards, wrapping paper, gift ware and party supply products as well as packaging and point of sale merchandising. All work was based upon large scale briefs for many notable clients such as Coles, Woolworths, Myer, Big W and the Reject Shop.

My role at Devcos International was crucial and multi-disciplinary. Being the Junior Designer, my duties included running the brand Crop Natural’s social media presence, photographing and editing product and campaign material for numerous notable cosmetics brands. I also created packaging, adhering to brand style-guides and exercising quality assurance with suppliers.

When I lived in Queensland, I worked as a designer for a local studio in Brisbane. In this role, I worked in a team environment and responded to incoming briefs for clients in the area that included the likes of Griffith University, the Queensland College of Art and Film School. This job gave me invaluable experience and skills as well as developing my own natural flare and aesthetic as a designer.

Jelly Bean Kids

SS2021 LEAD DESIGNER

As the lead Textile Designer at Interfab, I was in charge of the kids brand Jelly Bean Kids and took it from a brand that only sold one product every-so-often to having a full, cohesive range. The following range was created for Spring Summer 2021/22 and features printed Sheet Sets, Quilt Cover Sets, Coverlets and Weighted Blankets that were all personally illustrated/designed by myself from concept through to finished art and packaging. The brief was to create a midpriced range for Harris Scarfe for the everyday child that sparked imagination and followed current market trends.

Bedpack Design TEXTILE DESIGN During my time as a Textile Designer for Interfab, I have created ranges for numerous big clients including Spotlight and Harris Scarfe. The following bedpacks (Comforter Sets) are due to hit stores in 2021 and 2022 and were solely created by myself. These bedpacks are aimed at a younger adult customer who loves to splash something a little more fun and trend-based on their bed; a university student who desires an easy and stylish bedroom feature. The first range of bedpacks I designed for Spotlight sold out within 4 days and as a result, it secured many further ranges.
