I'm the cheeky creative at the helm of Pass the Salt Studio, and, like you, I’m a bit of a rule-breaker. Rawr.

Then to create brand identities that take you from invisible to irresistible, with the confidence to stand proud on centre stage. One that you can wear with complete pride and know, unwaveringly, that it will grow and venture into the wilderness with you.
Adores: Novelty & inspiring ideas. Brands with purpose. Fabulous hats & Jackets. dancing & great music!

Shaking up the status quo, marching to the beat of our own drums, embracing our unique styles, authentic alignment, infusing meaning, purpose & substance.
Didn't make the cut

Resonating with you? we're likely a match made for the limelight!
Reflecting on our journey
Completed a Certificate in Fashion Design at East Sydney TAFE. Sealed in an adoration for styling, design & theatre.
Finished Bachelor's Degree in Graphic Design & headed out into the world with a giant portfolio case in tow.

Completed Certificate of Speech Communication in Action (CSCA), then went on a joyous 2 month trip around Europe, which opened my eyes to the delight of discovery!
After a mix of freelancing gigs and contracting roles, I officially launched my career in newspaper advertising. This taught me the value of great processes & always striving to improve.
2006
Got my first big break as Head Creative at Australian Power & Gas, where I realised how much I adore branding for businesses with purpose.
Our beautiful son was born! With limited time up my sleeves, now was the time to really hone in on my passion – branding for movers & shakers. Serving with strategy, personality & purpose over dishing out pretty & trendy became my raison d'etre!
