Hey there! I’m MJ – a senior creative designer & illustrator, freelancing from Sydney, Australia.

I design with passion, positivity, and a problem-solving mindset. Over 20+ years working across leading agencies (Ogilvy, Cummins & Partners), studios and in-house roles, I've delivered design work for brands like NRMA, Vodafone, Bupa, Foxtel, and Omnigon.
My skills span art direction, print and digital design, UX, illustration, mural painting, email marketing, Squarespace builds, social media strategy, and a touch of marketing and copywriting. Clients consider me a one-woman ad agency.
I bring a curious, intuitive-led approach to every brief – the kind that doesn't just tick the boxes, but finds the unexpected angle that helps the design deliver above and beyond.
I'm known for staying cool, calm, and collected even when deadlines get ridiculous. Communication is key for all my collaborations – and I bring a friendly, can-do attitude and best-practice approach to every project.
If you think we'd work well together, I'd love to hear from you.
