Intrinsic way

Job: Graphic Designer
When I started: April 2004

Favourite thing about Intrinsic

The people, lunch with Trish, looking at the globe with Lizzie to see where our latest Intrinsic member was from, Friday current affairs and politics conversations with Jamie, countless crazy moments with Adele. Work wise I enjoyed designing the promotional & marketing material, and the photography was fun

Favourite Intrinsic item

It’s a bit hard to answer because I helped design a lot of stuff, but I liked the keyrings & the revive oil which I had nothing to do with. For things I worked on I’d say... the Saffron & Mulberry range and I liked a lot of the life range we did for US market

Favourite childhood memory

There isn’t really one, just hanging out with my friends and family and my dog

The thing most people wouldn't guess about me

I love old china tea sets, and high tea (even though I’m a coffee drinker)

If I wasn't me...

I wouldn’t want to be anyone else, but I’d like a few upgrades!

If I had a superpower

Invisibility or mind control though that’s a bit creepy

Savoury or sweet?

Sweet

If I won a million dollars

After giving a bit to family and some charities I’d buy a house I guess. I’d rather go traveling though

Rocking on my iPod is

I haven’t bought any music in a year, so I’m listening to The National and Atmosphere mostly

I couldn't live without

First cup of coffee in the morning. I’ve tried living without it and its not good

On my last holiday I went to

New York and Tokyo. It was more of a working holiday though

My dream holiday destination

At the moment I’d like to go to Hungry & Poland

My most memorable fancy dress costumer

My everyday clothes are pretty fancy

My most foolish decision

Quitting my job and going overseas right before the financial crash was a bit bad timing

My best decision

Quitting my job and going overseas

Three people i'd like to have dinner with

I’d like to say some intellectuals or humanitaries to make myself seem smart and all, but anyone who knows me knows there are no other choices…George Clooney, David Tennant and…I could go either Morat Safin or Daniel Craig. Can we make it four people?

Best advice

Don’t talk to strangers

Hobbies

Learning the guitar

The last time I stayed up all night

I’ve been traveling recently so there are heaps. Most of them are due to dodgy flight times or being stuck on airplanes, rather than any fun highjinks
