An innovative and concept driven designer with 8 years professional experience in creating multidisciplinary solutions for brand, print and digital.

About

Profile

I am an ideas focused person. Passionate about connecting people with brands like never before. Ever hungry to progress
in this evolving industry. My appetite lies in conceptual thinking, responsive web design, mobile
apps, motion graphics and social media.

This is supplemented with a good sense of layout, typography, and great deal of common sense with the ability to listen. Beyond this is a commitment to crafting great intuitive work for clients and customers.

I am a sociable, presentable and confident person who works well with teams, but also has the bow string of self-motivation. I live in the real world and understand that clients, briefs, budgets and deadlines are not always friendly, but for me that’s part of the challenge.

Personal & contact

 

Big fan of travelling, this led me to pursuing the joys of both skiing and scuba diving. When not doing these you can find me riding fixed gear bikes up hills or socialising in a bar often watching live music.
