Sandra is an urban-ecology artist working across printmaking, collage, artist books, poetry, and paper-based installations.
She regularly explores the natural environment through kayaking, cycling and walking, and enjoys working plein air—using monoprint, drawing, and text as the foundation for her studio-based projects.

Sandra’s connection to Coochiemudlo Island (‘Coochie’) has deepened over the past 15 years through friendships and the pull of the island’s emerald fringe of mangrove forests and sandy beaches.

Built my first site in 2000 and steadily learned what it takes to make websites work. Dabbled in WordPress back then, still do. Since building my first Squarespace site in 2016, I’ve been impressed with the relatively streamlined approach to website design and development that Squarespace offers compared to WordPress. SEO was a major challenge from the start — I’ve spent a lot of time keeping up with what’s required to get sites working, ranking well on a SERP. I have confidence with what Squarespace offers for SEO.

Having worked for more than 10 years in the web team of an inland, regional university in Australia and dealing with frustrations that come with working for a large corporate enterprise, the idea of setting up my own web design business became my goal.

Set up my business in late 2017. Opted for a sea change, too: I now live on Coochiemudlo Island 45 minutes from Brisbane. Love working from home. Love working for small business clients. Still get casual work with the university.

Challenges? The main one is pricing my work for small businesses. Doing quality work, doing the research to be up to date in the industry, takes time; it’s hard to factor in this time to my pricing while being competitive in the market and affordable for many small businesses.
