Amelia has
always loved to draw and create from a very early age and was an inspiration to select graphic design as a career choice. With
decades of experience in a variety of Queensland based advertising
agencies and running her own busineses, she has a vast knowledge and a variety of skills in the
advertising industry, managing
teams, providing innovative and exceptional creative solutions for clients.
Amelia's skills include providing team leadership, technical expertise, project
management, client liaison, design & production, as well as creative workshop packages, curatorial expertise and design for exhibitions and displays.
"My overwhelming
passion in life is to create, and when I'm not designing on screen,
I love illustrating, painting and sculpting with basically anything
I can get my hands on. This passion drives me to dream, and dreaming
is the essence of my soul. Finding the way to bring these dreams to
life is my challenge and keeps a smile on my face." |
