First name Laura, middle name Star.
I’m an optimistic content creator capturing real life in motion—including an appreciation for all things nature, parenting, travel, and creativity. I tell brand stories through a bright lens filled with good energy and a sense of humour, focusing on connection, social impact, and warmth.
Designer’s eye + Strategist’s brain = your new partner.

About me
I’m a mother of two boys, living by the beach in Newcastle, Australia. I combine the eye of a brand designer and creative lead, with the strategic thinking of a management professional and the all-knowing humour of a mum who has seen it all.
If your brand prioritises connection, impact, and content that inspires rather than adds to the noise, my experience in building strong, strategic partnerships can help take you in the right direction.
Specialties:
Lifestyle B-roll + testimonials
Perspective of food, travel and living abroad from a mother’s perspective
Outdoor & nature-focused content
Beautiful, on-brand visuals with warmth and personality
Why Work With Me
Real-Life Relatability
Content that makes viewers say: “Yes, that’s exactly how I feel!”
On-Brand Aesthetic
Natural lighting, beautiful tones and real-life compositions that align with modern, impactful brands. (Nothing fake here.)
High-Converting Hooks
I do social media management as a profession as well as this passion project. I know what works.
Stress-Free Partnerships
Timely delivery, clear communication, and usage rights tailored to your needs. I have a master’s degree in nonprofit management (for real), and I used to lead multi-million dollar grant partnerships, so timelines, details and nurturing relationships are my love language.
