Built for the Head of Marketing and the Development & Communications team. A cover letter, a JD-by-JD fit map that names both my strengths and my gaps, a quick design observation from your public site, and my CV.
I'm applying for the Brand & Visual Designer role because the work — keeping children and young people free from violence and trauma, and supporting families through Dolly's Dream — is the kind of mission I want my craft pointed at. I built this hub before applying so you can judge my design decisions directly, not from a folio of screenshots.
Let me be straight about who I am, because the Rind Standard I work to starts with honesty. I'm not a twenty-year Adobe production veteran. I'm a Melbourne brand and visual designer who builds complete, accessible design systems — type, colour, grid, components — and produces assets across web, social, email and print, with an AI production layer that lets me deliver at a pace a single designer normally can't. Door 02 of this hub is a working visual design system I built specifically for this application; Door 03 is a multi-channel campaign concept. Both are live — read the craft, then decide.
What I bring that the PD asks for and that I can prove: brand custodianship discipline. Years of Australian government service — across four federal agencies and Revenue NSW — trained me to ship nothing without a verifiable source and to hold a standard across everything that carries a name. That's exactly the temperament a key brand custodian needs — maintaining brand documents, enforcing guidelines and accessibility, and keeping every output consistent across channels and stakeholder requests. I'm also genuinely fluent in the modern toolset the role lists — Canva, content management systems including WordPress, and a design+AI workflow — and I'm a fast, respectful collaborator with internal stakeholders.
Where I'd lean on your team: I'm stronger in digital and brand-system design than in heavy long-form print production and video editing. I've named that openly in the fit map below rather than bluff it. I learn fast, I take direction well, and I'd rather tell you the truth now than surprise you in week three.
I'm available immediately, based in Melbourne and happy to work from South Melbourne, comfortable at 0.8–1.0 FTE, and I hold (or will immediately obtain) a Working with Children Check and Police Check. I'd welcome the chance to walk you through this hub in fifteen minutes.

Mapped honestly against the PD's major responsibilities and requirements. Purple = a clear strength. Gold = where I'd grow into it or lean on a specialist. No point is hidden.
From a respectful look at your public site on 3 June 2026 — framed as a designer's read, not a teardown. The brand already does a lot right; these are where a dedicated visual designer adds compounding value.
For their right to be safe. anchors the whole experience. This is a confident, human brand. The job isn't to reinvent it — it's to protect and extend it consistently across every channel and campaign.Happy to walk the panel through this hub in 15 minutes — or reply by email and we'll find a time that suits South Melbourne.
