Here’s 2 truths and a lie.
I once painted for 29 hours straight to meet a deadline. I attended a 10-day silent retreat for lols. I took improv classes to break my fear of public speaking.
Heya, I’m Alice.
7 years ago I drank the advertising kool-aid and am now a proud ad and art girlie (wazzzup!). If it’s not already obvious I’m on the art director side of the creative spectrum, but can write if you tempt me with a pack of Fredos and edit hype reels as a last resort.
I find it strange to say I’m an ideas person. Strange because pinch me… am I really just staring out the window while having controlled daydreams and getting paid for this?
Anyways, IDEAS. Big ones, small ones, social ones and everything in between, I do em all. I’ve helped shaped brand campaigns for banks, developed an integrated drink driving campaign targeting Tasmanian youth, and told adults to “Grow Up” and slow down in a school zone.
I’m also reconnecting with my cultural heritage through my art, with my influences of Japanese anime (a core childhood memory) and the architecture of Buddhist temples blending to create a dynamic style where folk art meets pop candy colours. In recent years my art has made its way into issues 117 & 118 of Frankie magazine, a mural for Darlo Bar, as well as a full centre wrap for The Galeries during Lunar New Year.
If my j-o-b and personal projects still haven’t taken up all my time, you can find my nose glued in a book (currently reading Hey Whipple, Squeeze This by Luke Sullivan), running marathons, or making stuff with my hands.
Thanks for taking the time to pop by my corner of the internet.
