So grateful for the past 14years in a contract position as Marketing Coordinator for the Hurstbridge Traders Association. I have met, worked with and became a good friend with a lot of people in my community.
I got spoilt last night at our event, with a big bunch of divine smelling flowers from The Wilde Bunch Florist, and a big hamper, from Hurstbridge Deli & Larder, and some gorgeous gifts from Oku Den creatively and lovingly put together. Thank you for your kind words Ian Mason, you certainly share the passion for making Hurstbridge a great place to live, work and shop, your business is a keystone in the community Mason White McDougall Real Estate.
I have put a lot of heart and energy towards promoting Hurstbridge Village, it has been a passion project, not only involving me but my whole family, Steven (super handyman) Reeve (proofreader and banner installer) and Ella (creative bouncing board). But other passions are now calling me and their voice is getting louder! Gilbert Rochecouste you have been an inspiration to me for a long time. Great to have you at the final event I organized for HTA. Go forward with love. Thanks for the photo Danielle.

(Anybody that interested in the position I am leaving, message me.)

The tight timeline for this project has kept me busy for 3 weeks, from concept design, engineering drawings, to fabrication and installation today. It will be lit up at Light Up Hurstbridge event tomorrow night.
We found the perfect image for our Australian Christmas Tree in Hurstbridge Village with "Honey Eater on Bottlebrush" from Eltham artist Kate Hudson - Printmaker and topped off with a handmade star lantern by artist Gay Chatfield.
It took all day to install, only because I was too distracted talking to everyone who came by to say hello. Thanks for the snacks Natures Harvest, it's just what we needed.

We've developed a side brand to the Wattle Festival – the Wattletribe. This concept was sparked by the need of a group of teenagers to fundraise at the event. They were going to be facepainting, so we designed an iconic face paint design to complement the festival and next thing you know 'wattletribe' came into being. Stickers and posters are being produced as I type this, just in time for the festival

We've been designing for Wattle Festival for over 10 years now. Pretty happy about the brand recognition it has grown enormously over the years with a small budget and consistent use.
