As a digital designer, it's imperative that the content I produce aligns with my values and that I'm creating for empowerment, not exploitation. Moreso, that I am conscious of social and environmental matters and that the work I contribute to is inclusive and accessible.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

If you've peeked my website lately you might have noticed that I've taken the pledge with The Ethical Move. One of my core values as a small business owner has always been transparency but this pledge stamps my commitment to helping create a new standard in how we market our businesses. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

No charm pricing, no countdown timers that reset when the website reloads, no woke washing, and being transparent around lead magnets and capturing emails, to name a few.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✦⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
For me, it also means designing and developing websites that are accessible and providing suggestions to my clients about how we can create a wholesome online presence for both their brands and their customers.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Conscious creativity is not just a set it and forget it method, it's an ever-evolving and constant work in progress to be good and do good. I'm committed to helping empower others to align with a greater purpose than simply making a profit. If this sounds like you too, I'd love to connect!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

🖤💛💔TRIGGER WARNING: "This hurts our culture, hurts the landscape, and hurts our ability to come together as a nation." — Senator Lidia Thorpe This week was meant to be a massive sigh of relief for Melbourne and greater Victoria as 7 months of varying degrees of lockdown began to truly lift. Yet on the same day the government had us occupied with opening up the State, they were also performing an act of cultural desecration. The Directions Tree on the sacred Djab Wurrung women's site — a place where over 50 generations have been birthed in the shade of its trees — was maliciously chopped down to make way for a highway. Hundreds of years of culture turned to woodchips within a day. These trees are not only integral to the beauty of the landscape and natural environment but, most importantly, are extremely sacred to the Djab Wurrung peoples and are connected to their songlines. The land must be conserved and protected. It's not unfair to say our traditional landowners are devastated and heartbroken, and rightfully so. The absolute lack of compassion and care the Australian government has towards conserving our indigenous cultures, and the environment at large, is shameful. I don't often get political on social media, but as conscious creatives we can (and should) use our platforms to create awareness for positive change. For ways that you can show your solidarity, flick through the following slides. With empathy,
