When a great idea makes you feel unstoppable…
I can’t get enough of that feeling… I believe that the success of any creative project is defined by the strength of its ideas.
Hi there, I’m Charlotte and I’ve had the absolute pleasure working for clients around the world on their creative projects.
Over the years I’ve found what makes me tick, and that’s creating with intention. My work is ideas focused and I specialise in taking a compelling idea and telling its story across all creative mediums.
Originally from Australia, I spent 6 years in the UK before settling in the Netherlands about 5 years ago. Through living abroad, I been fortunate to experience new cultures and ways of thinking, which has enriched my creative practice.
I’m a fairly chirpy individual who’s full of ideas and concepts that are sometimes super clever and innovative, other times a little bit weird and off-beat. If you’re lucky, you’ll get both!
