Sometimes, the best projects fly under the radar…

My clients come from far and wide across the Limestone Coast and beyond, and while some are happy to have their projects talked about, others value confidentiality. So here, you’ll find some select client case studies and public project work, plus a selection of my published work for SA Life, ABC News and InDaily. A selection of campaign, marketing and media work is available upon request.

“We’re pretty rough and ready – definitely one of a kind,” said Coonawarra Community Choir Leader and Joanna resident Anne Woodard, with a laugh. Raising the rafters of the old hall every third Friday night, Coonawarra’s version of a ‘pub choir’ brings together a colourful crew from around the district and beyond.

All Talitha Becker and Sandy Cameron needed was a “sign” as to whether they should buy a rundown, disused church along the Limestone Coast. When that sign came, the couple embarked on an incredible renovation that uncovered more than a century of secrets.

Meandering down the Southern Ports Highway, as the endless roadside scrub makes way for Norfolk Island Pines and flashes of that famous aquamarine blue water, you know you’ve arrived. Laidback and casual as can be, it’s the Limestone Coast town where thongs are year-round attire and no one will bat an eyelid if you ride your horse through the local bottle shop.

From the outside, the old stone building looks like any other dotting the paddocks of the Limestone Coast, but step inside to be transported into another world. Divided into the “light room”, the “dark room” and dominated by the “cabinet of curiosities”, all are vital to the studio’s main purpose: the art of scent design.

As the Edith Haviland pitched and yawed in stormy seas on a cold June morning in 1887, standing at the helm Captain J. Roddy would have been no doubt relieved to sight the guiding light of the Cape Banks lighthouse, far off in the distance on the south-east coastline.

All eyes are skyward as the Super Stinker zooms across the blue, upside down, above the Murray Bridge Aerodrome, a flash of red amongst the scattered clouds. Normally, an air show by South Australian aerobatics pilot Chris Sperou would attract thousands of people but, today, he performs for a crowd of three.
