With a foundation heavily built on customer service, Di is constantly exploring processes and products which help elevate our client’s content and their brand. Compassionate, empathetic and wise, she is the calm epic-centre of the studio, exuding Zen-like stillness and decision making during even the most frantic of times.

Customer Support
Emanuela Caruso Customer Support
An exceptional communicator with organisational abilities that continue to astound us, Em embraces every task with tireless precision, professionalism and proactivity. Lesser mortals would come undone when faced with a tricky situation – but not our Em.
Having previously worked as PA to high achieving real estate sales executive, she’s experienced service at both ends of the spectrum. When she’s not helping clients or allocating bookings to our creative team, Em’s usually recharging in a “happy place” or spending quality time with her daughter Natalia.
The Pink Ribbon charity is close to her heart, she’s passionate about good food, and can’t live without her toothbrush, coffee and a good cocktail (or should that be the other way round?).
Photography Manager
Andrew PattersonPhotography Manager
Andrew completed Photography Studies at university and worked as a freelance photographer before beginning his real estate photography career in 2010.
He brings a creative, efficient and professional approach to the job and is excited by the new challenges Skyline Creative will bring.

Sales and Marketing Manager
Mark FoxSales and Marketing Manager
Mark is an explorer by nature who moved from his native England to Australia for a sunny sea-change and to build on his photography career.
Seeing the world through a lens from the young age of 16, Mark developed his love for photography while studying film.
His strong natural eye for detail captures a property’s character honestly and he thrives on telling a story artistically through his images.
Mark’s next goal is to host his own exhibition and in his next life Mark would like to be reincarnated as the beloved cat of Angelina Jolie.
Production Coordinator
Zara KingProduction Coordinator
A portrait photographer for more than 10 years, our resident Production Coordinator Zara King says she “essentially lives and breathes photography”. That’s when she’s not indulging in coffee and chocolate, two things she admits would be impossible to live without.
Zara’s studied both film and digital photography, teaches photography to beginners and gets enormous joy out of shooting family photos for palliative care patients through ‘The Dreams Project’ based at Sydney’s Greenwich Hospital.
She’s incredibly detail-orientated, obviously compassionate and, as an avid gardener, doesn’t mind getting her hands dirty. She’s dedicated to plants and refers to them as her “babies”. Nothing like a healthy obsession we say!
Senior Photographer
Phi NguyenSenior Photographer
Following a successful portrait and lifestyle photography career, Phi’s passion for creative detail and architectural design moved him into the wonderful realm of real estate.
A true perfectionist, Phi has an avid eye for the finer details, enabling him to capture images that showcase a property at its ultimate. Attentive and dedicated to getting it right, clients can feel confident that each photo will tell a story.
When not on the road shooting properties, Phi loves spending time with his young family and enjoying a good food crawl. Although talking about life through a lens, we’re yet to see Phi eat anything without taking a picture of it first.
Social Media Account Manager
Sarah IndraputriSocial Media Account Manager
Growing a client’s presence online can present its own set of challenges, but not for avid photographer and filmmaker, Sara Indraputri. She describes herself as having been an artist her whole life, with a Degree in Media and experience in Digital Marketing and Content.
As Social Media Account Manager, Sarah develops and runs effective social media strategies backed by our flagship quality content, and loves being part of telling a client’s story.
When she’s not bringing stories to life on film or social media, Sarah’s probably curled up watching a classic black and white European movie with a glass of red. Having grown up enjoying ‘The Terminator’ movies with her dad, she’s a little bit infatuated with Artificial Intelligence and imagining what the world would be like if (when) it were taken over by evil robots, and we’re okay with that.
Digital Content Producer
Chloe Digital Content Producer
Having studied performing arts her entire childhood, Chloe’s certainly no stranger to drama. It was drama that led her to discover the camera at a young age, and she hasn’t let go yet. So, who better to deliver Skyline’s digital content?
Chloe’s worked across the film, video and design fields in various roles as director, producer, shooter and content creator; as well as photography, book editing and producing an online music show. She’s even produced and directed two award-winning films.
A “born storyteller” whose talent and skills are the driving force behind Skyline’s online presence, Chloe says she “can’t live without music and great people” and plans to adapt some twisted real-life events into a documentary-style drama.
Creative Producer
Lexi AdoncelloCreative Producer
An accomplished film director/producer and AFTRS graduate, Lexi brings an artistic and tireless approach to her work.
A combined passion for creating stories and an adventurer at heart, she makes every project an experience. In 2014/15 Lexi co-wrote, directed and produced a Japanese film with Japanese and Australian talent. Calling Japan her home while creating the film, it has featured in festivals around Asia and Australia.
When not writing, producing or behind the camera, Lexi can be found exploring the outdoors, learning a new language or enjoying a good book.
Senior Video Editor
Henry YoungSenior Video Editor
A film graduate, Henry found his passion for editing while studying.
Obsessed with film, he brings a cinematic film experience to his edits by engaging key moments that resonate with an audience.
A writer, director, shooter and editor, Henry sees the full picture when creating a story and has recently completed work on two short films.
Away from film Henry is quite the master-chef with his signature dish a grilled cheese toastie
Senior Video Editor
Rosanne Zappavigna Senior Video Editor
Don’t be surprised to see some special effects pop up in one or two of Rosanne’s property videos here at Skyline. As a film fanatic, she hopes one day to fulfil her dream of editing movie trailers. In fact, Rosanne’s already edited a movie trailer montage that was screened in a Queensland cinema, so she might be closer to the dream than she thinks.
After completing a Bachelor of Communications, majoring in Media/Arts production, Rosanne edited private wedding videos for several years. She also dabbled in fashion, documentary/film and corporate editing.
When Rosanne has some down time, she heads off to the movies – and not just to watch the trailers – obsesses over word games or indulges her passion for chocolate. Don’t we all?
Video Editor
Ryan UnwinVideo Editor
After crushing a Bachelor of Digital Media and spending some time shooting and editing content as a freelancer, our video editor extraordinaire Ryan Unwin launched himself into broadcast engineering at ABC Sport where he was involved with everything from AFL and Rugby League to the 2016 Rio Olympics.
Ryan’s always been passionate about photography and video; in fact, it’s an obsession (other than pizza and dreaming of owning a vintage car) that makes him an integral part of the Skyline team.
When he’s not creating awesome content, Ryan’s probably making films, watching one at the cinema with friends or spiralling into random nothingness on YouTube while nursing his pet rabbit Buttercup. Naaawww.
Videographer
Christian McGuinessVideographer
As a former competitive archer ranked amongst the world’s top 10 when he was in high school, Christian McGuinness is a straight shooter who hits the bullseye every time.
His determination – and experience – including work on short films and commercials – is the kind of fire the industry needs to keep evolving and revolutionising it’s video content. Never wanting to deliver a cookiecutter approach, Christian approaches each shoot with a perfect balance of technical expertise and cinematic artistry.
Christian’s can-do attitude and passion for what he does goes into every shoot and when he’s not obsessing about film gear or cinematography, you’ll probably find him doing a spot of barbecuing over a firepit (where’s our invite?) He’s also a supporter of WIRES – the wildlife rescue group – so the fact that he can’t live without his pets comes as no surprise.
Floorplan Quality Control
Amie Brennan Floorplan Quality Control
Skilled in property styling, interior design and floorplan quality control, Amie intends to add another string to her bow when she completes her Degree in Architecture!
She describes herself as a real estate “nerd” and loves looking through rundown properties and imagining what she could do with them. Aimee’s passion is balance and beauty – be it music, photography, fashion, film or objects – but particularly architecture and interiors.
Working, being a mum, and studying can often be the biggest balancing act of all, however Aimee’s success at all three makes her a triple powerhouse and we love that she always seems to have plenty of energy left to burn!
Copywriter Manager
Michael Church Copywriter Manager
Following a stellar career in radio copywriting, Michael left powerhouse 2DAY-FM in pursuit of his next writing challenge; and so began his career in real estate marketing.
Leading a team of talented copywriters, Michael enjoys the inspiration he gets from working along-side fellow writers and mentoring an accomplished team.
Over more than a decade Michael’s skill, experience and holistic approach has earned him a reputation as one the best in the business. His compendium of work is vast and, as a result, he’s even written copy for the same property multiple times over the years; each time presenting a fresh and vibrant spin.
In addition to the many accomplishments in his career, Michael believes his greatest achievement is his Daughter Maddie.
He’s also not embarrassed to mention his obsession with a famous Swedish pop band, saying only that knowing me, knowing you is the best he can do.
