As a leading expert in the field of applied colour psychology for business branding and interiors I train and mentor other colour industry professionals to delve deeper into this fascinating subject both for their personal and also professional development.
But it wasn't always that way.
For 20 years I was an internet project manager and business analyst working for major corporations around the world - in Australia, France, The Netherlands, Sweden and the UK.
While literally worlds apart from where I am now, this experience gave me invaluable insights into business and what makes people tick. One thing I missed during this very analytical time in my career, however, was an outlet for my creative streak. I found it though, through attending evening and weekend courses in fashion design and millinery.
It was at this time a light-bulb went on and I knew colour is where I wanted to focus and to be.
I began this journey while still living in my native Australia at the International School of Colour and Design. While I absolutely loved this time, for me the year-long course only scratched the surface to answering the deeper questions I had around the response to colour and associated behaviours.
After quite a lot of searching I came across the highly researched but seldom utilised area of Colour Psychology. My fascination lay in how to apply this knowledge.
Years, and now thousands of hours of personal research and experience later, I'm one of the few specialising in this unique field.
While I work directly with individual clients I also act as a specialist colour consultant and trouble shooter for branding companies, architects and interior designers.
With the number of design specialists asking me where they could learn more about colour psychology I now run advance colour training for design professionals to get the colour knowledge out there.
