Tracey Porst is a creative industries practitioner and teacher in the field of visual and online design technology, who enjoys the challenge of developing creative, commercial, and educational projects.
After a number of years working in management administration, the need to work within a creative environment took hold. Tracey applied her skills and background in this area after completing full-time study in visual design and new media technologies, to develop her own successful freelance design and digital media studio. She has enjoyed a successful career as a freelance visual communication designer ever since.
Having worked consistently to develop her own freelance practice, Tracey's client base includes an interesting and diverse range of businesses, for which she has produced websites, logos, and other promotional material.
Tracey takes a collaborate approach to working with her clients, listening to their requirements and combining them with the technologies and principles she believes will deliver results. Her clients often report that they are happy to have digital and technologies explained to them in practical terms and without the jargon often associated with this field.
As a Sessional Academic and Research Assistant with a leading Australian university, in addition to the teaching aspects, Tracey also enjoys the opportunity to develop her knowledge base and stay in touch with the changing face of digital media theory and practices.
