Hello there

I’m Shermaine and here you’ll learn a little about me. In a nutshell, I’m chronically optimistic and see the world through rose-tinted glasses. I love all things handcrafted, write endlessly, and tend to smile too much.

Marketing, Operations & Communications

Having lived in five cities over the years, I’ve found that there’s no better way to learn the unknown, face challenges, and meet wonderful people than to go where I never expected. My eleven+ years of career experience in Australia, China & Germany has allowed me to lead teams of different cultural backgrounds, craft compelling and unique brand stories, and create solutions to optimise structures & processes.

I believe that great ideas, good intentions, and hard work can truly make a difference to the community, and involve myself in social initiatives wherever possible.
