Video Editor
Meet Christopher
A devoted father, a creative video editor, and a programming graduate with a love for visual storytelling and all things tech. With a sharp eye for detail and a knack for blending creativity with logic, Christopher thrives on bringing ideas to life—whether it’s crafting compelling video narratives or building sleek digital solutions.
When he’s not behind a screen editing footage or writing code, you’ll find him geeking out over the latest tech trends, experimenting with new creative tools, or getting lost in the worlds of art, music, and travel. (Because let’s be honest—what’s life without a little inspiration and adventure?)
At the end of the day, Christopher is all about merging passion with purpose, pixels with code, and—when time allows—dad jokes with coffee breaks.

Meet Sophie
Sophie is a dynamic blend of psychology enthusiast and business-minded thinker, with a passion for learning, growth, and genuine human connection. Whether in her studies, work, or everyday interactions, she thrives on creating spaces where people feel valued, empowered, and motivated to unlock their best selves.
Curious and compassionate, Sophie sees challenges as opportunities—to understand, innovate, and make a meaningful difference. She’s fascinated by what drives people, loves solving problems creatively, and believes that true growth happens when we lift each other up.
When she’s not immersed in her professional pursuits, Sophie co-manages her family’s beloved off-grid retreat, Moonys Camp, in Hervey Bay. There, she connects with guests, fosters community, and shares the rugged beauty of the Australian bush.
An adventurer at heart, Sophie can often be found exploring remote trails in her 4WD, unwinding in nature with her sidekick (a spirited little dog named Tulip), or plotting her next big dream. She lives by the mantra of balance—knowing when to hustle and when to pause, savoring both the journey and the destination.
For Sophie, success isn’t just about milestones—it’s about building authentic relationships, embracing life’s adventures, and leaving a positive footprint wherever she goes.
