Please provide examples of how you have shown responsible engagement in your career
(Approx 100-300 words)

I demonstrate responsible engagement by ensuring both people and processes thrive. As Design Lead, I oversee studio workflow, mentor emerging talent, and facilitate structured development sessions that support both creative growth and professional development. I’ve guided multiple interns, three of whom became permanent hires, including one I supported from graduate level to mid-senior within three years.

I work closely with our Traffic Manager to maintain realistic capacity, and with client service teams to ensure briefs are clear, strategically aligned, and properly scoped before entering the studio. I maintain strong client relationships to ensure their visions are fully realized, translating ideas into impactful, high-quality work.

I actively support agency growth by pitching alongside new business teams and leadership, and by working with our Managing Director to keep the studio resourced and well-maintained. Through these efforts, I foster a culture of accountability, collaboration, and mentorship that drives both team and business success.

About Rising Star

The Rising Star Programme, operated by BlackBark Productions, has been established for the purposes of recognising, celebrating and connecting young talented people who have a capacity for achievement and success and who contribute in an inspirational manner to the future of our nation. The qualities that elevate Rising Stars to the top go beyond performance and technical excellence. Rising Stars are polished, brilliant individuals with tremendous promise and great talent who excel for reasons that go far beyond their technical abilities alone.

Talented people make things happen, are highly committed to achieving goals, innovate very rapidly, and create a great deal of value (for companies and/or themselves) when their talent is spotted and harnessed.

The Programme aims to be a significant and sustainable vehicle through which organisations, our country and our continent can identify and nurture these “organisational and national assets” who are set to play a key role in shaping the future of our country and our continent.
