When I got a message from Krissy Marsh asking me if I knew ‘anyone who could write up a few recipes’ for her for a book project she wanted to do - I thought best idea was to meet and talk it through to get the full picture on what she wanted to achieve, before I just passed on a few of my contacts. From that initial meeting the project turned into a wild (if not a bit crazy at times) ride from stuttering start to full speed driving the project to completion. At the end of the day, it was a great project and have to thank Krissy for the opportunity to create something amazing for her.
Engaged by communications company Rocket Comms for their client ANZUP Cancer Trials Group Ltd to style and production manage a fundraising cookbook. When I was first asked to work on this project, I was a bit taken aback as it’s not the usual brief for a stylist – but the more I thought about it, the more I thought it’s such an important initiative. To create images to raise awareness about the whole ‘below the belt’ men’s business, was a challenge I could take on and produce something with style, impact and a bit of fun.

Engaged by FCM Meetings and Events company for their client, Subaru Australia to style and theme the vehicles for their 50th Celebration event. The client: Subaru has been a part of Australian family life since 1973. The range is made up of adventure loving vehicles with performance, engineering and revolutionary design at their core. The brief: The celebration event at Sydney’s International Convention Centre, included 3 cars to be themed to reflect three different vehicle types both new and vintage. Contemporary beach and camping themes and a vintage 1970’s camping look. The look: Each of the three vehicles were to be themed inside and out to reflect the vehicles performance, off-road adventure capability, inspiration and a nostalgic look back at the ‘way we were’. The vehicle colours and performance style were the starting point of the theming – Cross Trek vehicle was a beach theme with surf boards, towels, wetsuits and sand, pebbles and grasses. Outback vehicle was a modern camping theme with camping equipment, swag, camp chairs, mountain bike and river pebbles and native bush plants. 1970’s Leone wagon was vintage camping themed with picnic basket, tartan rugs, fire pit and quirky ‘old school’ equipment, gravel and low scrubby plants.
