Strengths
I'm good at bringing structure and clarity to environments that need it, whether that's a content function, a creative team, or a delivery process that has grown faster than its systems. I pick things up quickly, work well without much hand-holding, and tend to operate at both a strategic and hands-on level depending on what the situation needs. I'm strongest in roles that sit across operations, content, and design, where the work requires both thinking and doing. I communicate well across teams, manage competing priorities without dropping things, and I'm comfortable working with ambiguity and figuring it out as I go. I'm also good with stakeholders at any level, from day-to-day team collaboration through to executive conversations, and I know how to adjust how I communicate depending on who I'm in the room with. Companies should hire me when they need someone who can build or fix something and leave it running properly.
Interested in working involving
I'm looking for part-time, contract, or fractional work across creative operations, digital content, brand design, or UX adjacent roles. I do my best work in lean teams where there's room to think, shape, and deliver, not just execute. I'm comfortable with ambiguity and moving fast, and I bring a mix of strategic and hands-on capability. Open to a range of industries, especially those doing something genuinely useful.
Not interested in work involving

Not looking for full-time in-office roles or pure execution work with no creative or strategic input. I won't work with tobacco, vaping, or companies whose core business causes direct harm to people or the natural environment.

Other information
I'm currently available for part-time, contract, or fractional work and can move quickly. I'm based in Newcastle, NSW but work remotely without issue and have done so across distributed teams for years.

Work experience

Proudest professional achievement
