Favourite quote
Sustainability is a condition of existence
which enables the present generation of humans
and other species to enjoy social wellbeing,
a vibrant economy, and a healthy environment,
and to experience fulfilment, beauty and joy,
without compromising the ability of future
generations of humans and other species
to enjoy the same. ~ Guy Dauncey

Papercut love
I love working in this great old house in Turner, surrounded by oak trees and looking out to the parkland view. I never feel like I’m really at work!
My character
I have a fascination for Feng Shui and meditation. I’m also very attached to my Dymo labeler gismo, just ask the team – if you stand still too long you might get labeled.
I’m an artist in my spare time and I sell a range of original art cards online at smartbugart.com.au
Aspiration
I love the art of Gustav Klimt, and I would love to meet the Dalai Lama.
Green thoughts
I’m passionate about sustainability, especially in an industry that has the potential to impact so significantly on the environment. Sustainable design is the way of the future and it excites me to be leading Papercut in this innovative direction.

It’s so easy to be green. You just have to remind yourself and eventually good green practices become pure habit. The problem is people don’t accept the severity of our climate’s situation.
