Talie Teakle
Talie is a work-a-holic. No really. She went to Uni with aspirations of being a writer/editor… but then fell into an events management position at Adelaide Uni for 10 years or so. Here she also started to dabble in website design and desktop publishing.
After leaving Adelaide to return to her hometown she promised herself she’d get a normal job. The kind you get to go home from at nights and forget about til the next day. She tried this for a year, but office management just wasn’t her thing, and out of the blue applied for a job as graphic artist at a magazine. Not only did she score this job, but also the role of editor. A childhood dream come true you might say. And for two years or more it consumed her life. Weekly deadlines with 64 pages of editorial content per week… all on her own as well as some ad setting and custom printing, and also maintaining her clients with gunhoundink.com…
But now, a free agent, Talie works as a graphic artist and writer with many clients, including Noorla Yo-Long, Riot City Wrestling, Nadine DiGiorgio’s Wedding & Event Management Services, Little Goat Gallery, Women in Business & Regional Development, Spanlift Buildings… etc. etc.
Life in the freelance world is scary, and a lot riskier than she’s used to, but it also gives her the time needed to take care of her self and her soul, with personal training sessions and art classes and spending time with her pets….
The next chapter of her life has just begun.
