Frankie Magazine

What inspired you to pursue a creative career?

I grew up in Sydney with very creative parents. I think they would have been highly disappointed if I didn't land myself in a creative field! I was always into art at school and never envisioned doing anything that didn't involve creativity. In my last year of high school I was pretty convinced that I didn't want to go to Uni so did a TAFE course in design to supplement some of my other subjects. I decided last minute to apply for a few uni courses just in case and ended up studying Visual Communication at UTS straight out of school. From early on I was pretty into print design and publication but never thought it would actually lead to a career in the field.

How long have you worked at Frankie now and what are the best bits working at such a rad magazine?

I've been here for four years now and the best parts stem from an amazing approach to commercial creativity, the girls have developed a brand that allows for creative freedom whilst still maintaining a successful business. Frankie does things its own way and it's great to be a part of.

Where do you see yourself in ten years?

Tough question! Hopefully living somewhere beautiful with chickens and children and doing something that I love everyday? I would also love to be doing something for myself by then.

What have been some of the highlights since you started?

Just being about to work with such a great and inspiring team. I've learnt so much and have been given so much freedom creatively, so to be able to contribute like that has been great.
