About me

Originally from Manchester UK, I have been working in the creative industry since 2001. In 2007 I relocated to Auckland, New Zealand and since then I have been working as a retoucher, artworker, designer and studio manager for some of New Zealand's leading advertising and design agencies. Today I specialise as a freelancer in retouching and finished art, whether it is basic colour correction or high end image manipulation, a simple digital print job or the most complex of packaging projects, I enjoy it all.
