I’m Claudine, a proud Ngiyampaa Wongaibon creative strategist and content producer working across branding, campaigns and social media for community-led, health and purpose-driven work.

My path into the creative space wasn’t linear. I initially studied Fine Arts before moving into property, employment programs, cultural heritage and social housing, eventually building my own creative practice. That experience shapes how I approach my work, grounded in how things operate on in person, not just how they look online.

For the past decade, I’ve worked in photography and content production, and now run Claudine Thornton Creative, supporting small businesses, organisations and teams to show up clearly and meaningfully. From national campaign support to headshots, I focus on work that people can actually use — not something that sits on a hard drive collecting pixel dust.

I believe any project should do more than perform. It should support, connect and carry real-world impact.
