I initially started my career in 2007 as a Recruiter for e-commerce startups in San Francisco. While I was hiring marketers and creatives every day, I didn’t make the leap to work within these specific disciplines myself until moving to Melbourne in 2015. I immediately felt at home with the creative energy and possibility here — particularly, the fact that if you are passionate about an idea, you are encouraged to give it a go, and also that independent, local businesses are very much supported by the community. I was and still very much am, inspired by this ethos.
