About

I have 20+ years experience in graphic design and front-end website development, and I'm still lovin' it.

history

I graduated with a BA in Multimedia Design from Curtin University in Western Australia and went on to build many websites during the .com boom. That bubble soon burst and I transitioned to design for print at boutique design studio Brimstone Creative. Clients included Bailey's Fertiliser, Matso's Broome Brewery and various wineries in the South West of WA.

In 2009 we moved to Sydney and I worked at Heywood Innovation designing printed and digital comms for Westpac, Air New Zealand and YouGov as well as working alongside British design firm Radley Yeldar to create digital annual reports for Great Portland Estates, Consort Medical and Drax Group. After moving back to Perth I worked once again for Brimstone Creative (now trading as Flametree Creative) designing packaging for Mt Barker Chicken and D'Orsogna, Annual reports and printed collateral for the City of Fremantle and everything inbetween.

I became a fully fledged freelancer in 2018 and have my own stable (more like a small shed) of clients but also enjoy working in-house at local studios and agencies. I freelanced at Block Branding in Perth designing for businesses such as Celebration Homes, M/Group and Fremantle Social Club.
