Publications
Looking to publish your own magazine in print, or digital format, but don’t know where to start?
As partner and Creative Director of successful independently-published and internationally-distributed magazines, I led every stage of the process, from concept and design to print production and promotion.
All titles I have worked on have won awards for design and were hugely popular within their markets, receiving high praise from both readers and advertisers alike.
Today I bring that same experience and skill to brands and businesses from all industries, offering this service to anyone looking to produce a title of their own.

Fete/Life Magazine
Fete/Life Magazine was an independently-published lifestyle magazine with 34 issues distributed throughout Australia, New Zealand, the UK and some countries in Asia as well as digital issues via Zinio.
The magazine celebrated the virtues of simple living, sharing tips, knowledge and products to help readers reclaim life and find joy in the everyday.
As Co-founder, Co-editor and Creative Director of Fete/Life Magazine, I worked on every aspect of this title from concept inception through to print production. As sole designer, I am proud to have received both Australian and international awards for design and typography.
The product was a magazine, but every touchpoint relating to sales and promotion of this title was considered – stationery, website design, EDMs and social media accounts, but also details like the language, photography style and positioning.
“I felt I really should let you know how pleased I am to have found Fête/Life – I had been looking (hoping) for a magazine that suited my current aesthetic. The pages are beautiful, the writing is just the right depth and holds the attention and I want to buy just about everything in the carefully curated suggestions.
“Your magazines are standout – I buy and peruse a lot of mags and design books for my design inspiration. I have gifted a few Féte/Life to my other talented design team members… only if I have a spare to share! It’s so refreshing and inspiring. I especially love the quotes on the front page, the beautiful layouts and fantastic stories – so, yes, pretty much all of it from cover to cover!
“You have designed something unique. You have created a format that is unique, stylish and lots of white space (which I love). Being a graphic designer myself, I liked your font choice, the photographs were beautiful, the content with the spreads then what you could wear/buy etc. to achieve that and the use of white space as a major part of the design – I wanted to applaud you on a great product.”

Seasonal Magazine
VIEW > SEASONAL MAGAZINE_SPREADS
My business partner at Fete Press and I were contracted to work on the production of Seasonal Magazine where I operated as Creative Director and sole designer, winning an award for the design.
The client had a strong focus on fresh, local produce, operating a popular café located in the beautiful Adelaide Hills. As an extension of the successful business she had built, the client wanted a magazine that she could sell to customers. The design reflected the home-style cooking for which she was known, with many of the recipes having been passed down for generations in her family.
Each dish was photographed styled with collected vintage and antique servingware to reflect her personality and the decor of her café. Detailed, vibrant imagery captures how delicious and simple each dish is, encouraging readers to try them for themselves.
