“Design is what we stand for. When we align creativity with purpose, our work can amplify the voices of change, protect our communities and planet, and ignite movements that can make a true impact.
Every design has the power to shape a better world—make yours count.”

I help not-for-profits, community organisations, and purpose-driven brands turn complex ideas into compelling visual stories that educate, engage, and inspire action.
As a Graphic Designer and Founder of Act by Design, I bring together creative design expertise and firsthand experience working inside the not-for-profit and community sectors, including years of frontline work in animal rights, education, and youth support. I understand what it takes to communicate a mission with limited resources, and I design with both craft and intention so every asset serves the cause behind it.
Under my creative guidance, organisations can strengthen their impact by:
• Building distinctive brand identities and visual systems that communicate mission, values, and impact with clarity
• Delivering integrated advocacy and fundraising campaigns across digital and print platforms that mobilise supporters and drive engagement
• Translating complex social, environmental, and animal rights messaging into accessible, engaging content for diverse audiences
• Producing educational resources, workshop materials, and online learning assets that extend program reach and support funding outcomes
• Managing end-to-end creative projects from briefing and concept development through to stakeholder consultation and final delivery
As Director and Graphic Designer at NSW Hen Rescue, I lead the organisation's visual identity and creative communications, and have contributed to securing more than $100K in grants, donations, sponsorships, and community funding. Projects such as the Tiny Sanctuary BIG Impact workshop program and the Meet the Parents campaign show how strategic design can expand an organisation's reach and deliver real-world outcomes.
I hold a Diploma of Graphic Design from TAFE NSW, a Bachelor of Fine Arts, and dual qualifications in Youth Work and Community Services, a combination that allows me to design with a genuine understanding of the audiences and communities my clients serve. I am proficient in Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign and Premiere Pro, alongside Canva, Teachable, and ethically-grounded AI-assisted creative workflows.
If you lead a not-for-profit, social enterprise, ethical business, or community initiative and want design that makes your message count, I would love to connect.
