About me

Professional designer with an easy going, clear and direct Aussie communication style - whether it's in person or on screen. Sharp eye for detail and very organised.

Originally from Melbourne, now permanently based in London UK, I am one of those rare Graphic Designers that can also artwork to final print/pixel, (that's how we are trained in Australia).
With 23 years experience you will find my pasteboards clean, style sheets perfect and my layers named consistently throughout all my design files. Here is a list of areas I cover:

- Rebrands:
My favourite thing to do! Done so many, it's a dream. Let's get started. I also enjoy rolling a new brand out over assets, updating everything from print to digital.
- Digital:
Conceptual social campaigns, web banners, static and computer made story boarding (not sketching) for animation (someone else can make it animate). Squarespace templated website building. Pumping out assets all accurately named and in the right folders ready to go to live.
- Print:
Design, typography and layout; know it like the back of my hand. Typesetting, style sheets, correctly named and organised layers, Pantones, paper weights, cutting guides, spot varnish, bleed etc.
- Lead:
Need someone who listens, then make decisions and lead
- Presentations:
I can help tidy up your PPT decks that have their master pages locked into the brand they came with and I can do it fast, but *only* from already created templates.
- Choosing photography:
I can colour grade and choose the most effective shots to sell your products.
Inside IR35 bookings are £100 extra per day.

Last minute hire to come in and clean up the winning PPT pitch presentation for FCB Inferno on their Holland & Barrett account.

Designed the winning prospectus and brand expansion for a $1M (AUD) bid at Excellerate Australia on their iMove account.

I am also a DJ.

I've been a live music and events photographer for 20+ years.

Note: I *do not* create templates for Powerpoint, nor do I design in Microsoft Word or Excel.
