A bit about Rae
I’ve been in the design and print world since 1993, kicking things off with t-shirt graphics and moving through all sorts of creative roles—newspaper production, local printeries, and working with print brokers. That mix of hands-on experience really shaped how I work today, especially when it comes to getting designs print-ready and making sure every detail is spot-on.
Over the years, I’ve also spent time in marketing and communications teams, including roles in local government where I worked on projects that needed a mix of strategy and creativity. A standout was working with the Tourism team at Lake Macquarie City Council on campaigns that showed off the best of the area.
These days I’m lucky to still be working with some great local names—like Newcastle Airport—providing design that’s clear, creative, and thoughtful. It’s been a long journey through all sides of the industry, and it means I can bring a whole lot of real-world know-how to every project.
