To call Simone an industry legend is probably an understatement! Spending eighteen years in publishing and media, Simone loves what she does. Enthusiastic and friendly – if you need a hand, Simone’s there to help.
Clients love Simone and know her has a friendly face, and most of the relationships she has built at work have become lifelong friendships. Gaining a wealth of knowledge during her time at ACP Magazines, Bauer Media and Caravan World, the knowledge she has gained about the industry is second-to-none.
Outside of work, Simone is the President of the non-for-profit organisation Waverley Multiple Births Association. A busy mother of twin boys (and a greyhound), Simone is always active and loves the outdoors. She loves exploring new places with her family, and she’ll be sure to share her stories of travel gems she finds at home and abroad.

He continued to broaden his skills within the design industry, expanding his skill set across digital design, product design and website development. He has developed a wide range of skills and abilities to help meet clients needs and expectations.
With over 10 years experience in the design industry, Will has always been a creative individual, he strives to continuously expand his knowledge and learn new skills so that he can always provide the best creative outcome for any project, large or small.
Gaming, tech and the outdoors, Will loves the creative fantasy and digital worlds found in games as much as he does the beautiful real world natural wonders.
