Values & Purpose

This is how I work - and why I work.

Cultural Integrity First

As a proud Aboriginal Yorta Yorta creative, my work is grounded in cultural truth-telling, care, and responsibility. I approach every project through a Blak, sovereign lens - honouring community, Country, and kin. Cultural safety, protocol, and integrity are not negotiable.

Collaboration with Care

Creative exchange is powerful - but only when it’s built on mutual respect. I value honest dialogue, clear communication, and shared understanding. I work best with clients and collaborators who are open to learning, listening, and co-creating with care.

Community-Centred Practice

My heart lies with grassroots collectives, community-led spaces, and First Nations, queer, feminine creatives. I believe in creative practices that give back - economically, emotionally, and culturally. My work is not just for show; it’s part of something bigger than me.

Accountability Over Aesthetics

It’s not just about how something looks, but how it feels, who it’s for, and what it stands for. I value process over polish, ethics over ego, and responsibility over replication.

Creative Sovereignty

I make what I want, how I want. I don’t do extractive, tokenistic, or one-sided collaborations. If you’re working with me, you’re respecting my time, voice, culture and vision as an artist and a cultural practitioner - not just hiring a style.

What to Expect When Working with Me

  • Upfront conversations about timelines, budgets, expectations, and cultural boundaries.

  • A values-led approach where we work with respect and transparency from start to finish.

  • Flexibility in creativity, but firmness in cultural and personal boundaries.

  • Collaborative energy, especially when the project aligns with community outcomes or storytelling.

  • A commitment to excellence, not just in the final product, but in how we get there together.
