Summer is so much more than just bikinis, boardies and the beach. It’s a state of mind, a way of life. It’s that feeling you get when you wake up to the sound of the ocean on a perfect summer day. It’s the warm sun on your face, the wet sand between your toes and that good mood you just can’t shake.
My love for travel and fashion has always revolved around summer. The hot sticky days and the balmy tropical nights have been a recurrent theme throughout my life for as long as I can remember, and it was out of this passion that THIS ISLAND LIFE® was born.
Whether it’s through words, film or photography, I have a true passion for storytelling that I have used to build my brand THIS ISLAND LIFE. Based around the concept that it’s always summer somewhere®, THIS ISLAND LIFE is a blog that follows the warm weather across the globe. From tropical islands fringed with coconut palms to pebbled beaches lined with olive groves, a visit to THIS ISLAND LIFE is almost as good as a real holiday.
Through original and unique content, I have built an authentic brand identity and loyal following and am now regarded as an authority on all things summer and island life. With a diverse offering that includes writing, art direction, content creation, photography, filmmaking and bespoke social media strategies, my team and I produce campaigns and content tailored to each client’s individual needs.
When I’m not chasing the summer to an exotic destination, I’m at home in Sydney making the most of the Australian summer and planning my next island hopping adventure.
