When did you join Christie & Co?
22 October 2017.
Where were you when you accepted your role at Christie & Co?
Phone call woke me up on Monday morning (my birthday). I was living on my brother’s couch after moving back from the US three weeks before, so it was a welcomed call.
What was your first job?
I worked in the fibres studio at my uni - I was a glorified cleaner. It's amazing what you will do for a social security card.
In a couple of sentences, can you tell us a bit about your job at Christie & Co?
I work in the design team, creating infographics, animations, Information Memorandums, and other big internal reports.
What’s your favourite thing about Christie & Co?
My bawler marketing team, it helps to have a team you enjoy talking to.
If you had to pick a favourite project that you’ve worked on at Christie & Co so far, what would it be?
Project Europe! It was a mammoth of a document as it had so many numbers and stats. At the time I hated it. It was a lot of work, but I ended with a document that I was really proud of and it really kickstarted my love of infographics.
What’s been a highlight of your career so far?
Becoming a manager has been very rewarding. I love teaching and watching new designers figure out what they like to do and helping them grow in their careers.
