About me

I'm Andrew, here to rattle your creative brief and shake out the best from it.
I'm an experienced graphic designer and creative consultant, and I've worked with multi-national consumer brands like PlayStation, Rolls-Royce and Coca-Cola, public service agencies, academic institutions and government departments - and everything in-between.
Most recently I've been overseeing the delivery of brand identities, establishing the look and feel of strategies and campaigns, and using my design know-how to enhance employee experience projects - all with high standards and a hawkish eye for detail. I don't have an ego - drilling down to the purpose of the brief and delivering whatever it takes to answer it is what I'm here for.
As a result, I can pretty much turn my hand to anything - creative ideation, campaign hooks, art direction, illustration, print collateral, interactive publications, intranet architecture, animation storyboarding, photographer wrangling - from initial concepts to finished and delivered artwork.

I'm driven by genuine creativity, innovating however possible and always looking out for the "even better, if ..." to deliver work I can be genuinely proud of. Clever, novel, unexpected or simply smart design gets me up in the morning. I love looking back at my portfolio and seeing those projects that spark a sense of pride, and look forward to adding more.
