When I was asked to create an illustrative identity for the Government’s 'Get Serious About Food Safety' campaign, I created a nasty germ character. During summer, warm weather and outdoor celebrations can result in a higher risk of food poisoning. So to avoid running into this bloke, make sure you wash your hands, cook food thoroughly, refrigerate properly and separate raw and cooked ingredients.

Did you know that over 7000 hip replacements are performed in Victoria annually? That’s a lot of people who need information and reassurance. For this project I was given a Word document full of written statistics which had to interpreted and recreated visually. The aim was to communicate facts quickly and in a friendly, unthreatening manner.
Personal Project
I drew this birthday card for my partner, Dan. We had been invited to a ‘Noah’s Ark’ party and decided to go as two birds of paradise. We put the costumes together at our local 2 dollar shop. All it took were yellow raincoats, feather boas and Native American headdresses. I think the drawing really looks like us and I’m as proud as a peacock. See photo.

The best way to encourage your child’s speech and language development is to talk together frequently and naturally. These illustrations were created for a series of language workshops held by Hume City Council on different techniques that can be incorporated into everyday activities. Top left to right: bath time, cooking, breakfast, cleaning and getting dressed. Bottom left to right: travelling, shopping, bed time, free play and visiting.

I illustrated this thank you card for the University of Melbourne’s Faculty of Veterinary Science. ‘Wheely’ want to thank you. Get it? I have a rather unhealthy love of dachshunds, though it's a little unfortunate that they are bred in a way that gives them back problems. I think I captured the alert mischievousness of the breed in this disabled dog’s face. Ain’t no spinal injury getting this guy down!
Personal Project
I designed this set of eco-friendly themed illustrations for iStockphoto– a stock photography and illustration website. The file was downloaded frequently around the world, but yielded little financial return. You hear stories of people who submit a photo of a blank post-it note or basket of kittens and make a neat profit, but I think it’s pretty rare.

I really enjoy creating illustrative diagrams that help people understand a concept quickly. At school I always learnt visually. Often, I would draw my own diagrams when studying from books containing dense blocks of text. It’s so much easier to remember a diagram in the exam.

These illustrations were created to help promote a series of training programs with the aim of educating public servants and social workers to more effectively help children in need. The brief was to create a fun series of illustrations where children and adults interact in a positive way. The simple style was popular and continued to be recommissioned for other projects.
