I’ve recently started referring to myself as “Beak” because I find it amusing. It's surprisingly caught on!
I'm an Aussie freelance graphic designer and hobbyist.
I have 2 cats, Iris and Tammy, despite being a former "dog person" with cat allergies. No, I don't have any dogs :(
I live and work on stolen Wadawurrung and Dja Dja Wurrung land.
I have the inane ability to magically become passionate about nearly anything. I am passionate about too many things! (Seriously, I have far too many interests, and I don't know how to tone it down.)
I’m pretty down to earth. I love experimenting with anything creative (graphic design is my passion... but so are a lot of other things!).
My favorite color is the gradient between hot pink and aqua. (You might be able to tell!)
I describe myself as wacky, zany, exuberant, and passionate.
Others have described me as “a pop-culture convention,” “constantly tripping on 3 x
I would like to note that I have never taken Ecstasy in my life😅😆
,” “cool alien babe,” “gigglepot,” and "goober.” I guess it's probably because of the ADHD?!
I collect too many things
I wanna create some websites to show 'em off!

I have won at least 2 paper aeroplane competitions in my life.
admittedly one was at a bar, so people were probably intoxicated, but I DID win a neat Bob the Builder tin lunchbox!
I like memes
of course I do, I am a millennial

I grew up watching Star Trek (as you can probably tell from all the quotes), Midsomer Murders, and Pokemon with my family. This no doubt stewed my interest in true-crime/mystery/thrillers and anything sci-fi or nerdy.
I like the idea of space, but I think I’m too anxious to ever consider cosmic travel.
On a more relevant note, I probably started drawing thanks to anime and my cousin, Leanne. (If you don't blame your family, then what's the point?)
I have an advanced diploma of graphic design, a certificate 4 in small business management, and a certificate 2 in digital media.
