I am a graphic designer from New Zealand, living in Melbourne. I believe in concept-led design, where the idea determines the outcome. I have a deliberate, considered and crafted aesthetic that is often typographically driven.
Over the last few years I’ve been working as a designer for some of Australia’s largest independent branding agencies. I have helped create, guide and evolve some of Australia’s biggest and most recognizable brands - while helping some smaller ones along the way.
