About me

I have recently landed in London holding a two year working Visa. I left Melbourne in June and visited North Queensland, New Zealand and the U.S.A on my way over to the U.K. I have 5 years experience in the design industry where I have freelanced for design studios around Melbourne. I have worked on briefs in most fields but my main experience is in print/packaging design. I am looking to build on my experience whilst in London and maximise my time in this creative environment.
