This is for all the anxious girlies who have struggled to put themselves out into the world or work and everyone who has had a winding (and bonkers) path to get to where you are you are. Life is rarely a straight line and as I’ve always drilled into my students, if you give in to the process, chances are you’ll land somewhere better than you first imagined (this goes for design and life).

Honoured and stoked to be featured in this months @found_regional issue. Go check it out, there’s more than just me in there to get you excited about regional life!!

I haven’t posted in months and months (I’m the worst) but wanted to start the year with a look back at some of my amazing female clients from 2022. Big shout out to @bellabellucciphotography @peachespatisserie @saltedgraceinteriors
(Also check the sneak peak on two projects that aren’t out in the world yet!!)
Thanks for taking a leap of faith and working with me last year. I couldn’t have loved working on these projects more. How lucky am I to get to have such strong, vulnerable, talented and badass women in my business circle?
Here’s to more magic in 2023.

This has only been a year in the making but I’ve finally, sort of, almost, kinda finished my website and today, #IWD2022 , felt like a great day to launch it out into the world.

Pretty proud of this baby. Design by me, build by my legendary developer who I’m keeping secret because he’s an absolute gun.

Fresh vibes for a fresh year. I've set a word for 2022 and it's 'Momentum'.

I'm usually pretty self motivated but I can lack volition (that's the follow through bit that turns motivation into action) so 2022 is all about creating momentum so that things move forward with ease and pace. A boulder gathering speed as it rolls down a slope, a wave gathering force and size as it moves towards the shore.

Here’s to another year of growth, ease and exciting projects.

Hey, I'm sam- thanks for being here on this little corner of the interwebs- it means a lot. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A few random things about me:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- I was a teacher for nearly a decade. I still get mad passionate about education and supporting teachers, but the classroom (and teenagers!!) isn't for me anymore. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- I studied art history and theory. Equally the most useless and useful degree ever. Not vocational AT ALL but damn did it teach me a lot about the world and history. Plus I can talk for a good 45 minutes about Russian revolutionary cinema- who doesn't need that skill? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- I'm a qualified hair and makeup artist and have done some really fun things in the industry but these days it mostly just means I have a hectic makeup collection and an expensive skincare habit.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- I mentor design students @whoisbillyblue and it is one of the best parts of my week. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Tell me a lil something about you! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Just a lil bit of Monday fun.

But for REELS, feedback is sometimes the hardest and sometimes the best part of my job. Some clients find it so easy to communicate what they want, others struggle. MY job is to squeeze ever my last drop of information out of you so that the work we create together hits the mark, every time.

Knowing what questions to ask before, during and after your project is just as important as the visuals I create. It’s all part of the magic

Just a big old loved up shout out to all the incredible women in my life. Couldn’t do life, or work, without you. The community of creatives I have around me, albeit virtually at the moment, is da bomb. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Love you besties 💗⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Two things designers roll their eyes at (there are more, but that’s a story for another day hahaha) are:
- radio silence after a quote is sent
- clients trying to negotiate with the old “this seems a bit too expensive and my budget isn’t that big”

The best thing though? Clients that do this aren’t the ones you want! Clients who value you, know the worth of good design, and know expertise is worth paying for are the clients you want!

❤️A lockdown story ❤️
I've been in lockdown for approximately 36 hours and I honestly don't know how people have done nearly two months in Sydney. I am incredibly lucky to have the beach on my doorstep and that the sting of winter is fading. Sunshine, baking fails and gratitude that I am surviving and vaccinated.
Stay safe and sane everyone xx
