Originally from Auckland, New Zealand where I worked in several top advertising and design studios crossing over all types of media, moving up in the ranks as a middle weight designer. I come rich with knowledge graduating with first class honors in a Bachelor of Visual Communication Design as well as real world experience in fast paced, high pressure studios along side my own international freelance work. I am fast, organized, precise, I listen and consider myself an all round multi-tasking team player and a genuine great guy with experience taking projects from concept through to delivery. With a passion for art and design I pride myself on having a good knowledge of innovative and ground-breaking design looking beyond the next big thing all the while protecting companies core values.

I come with all the skills required with 6+ years of experience with adobe creative suite as well as web//video/animation/illustration and photography skills. Basically I tick all the boxes - conceptually strong, detail focussed, calm under pressure, perfect english, fun, creative, team player, adobe genius, both flash HTML and CMS knowledge, with a passion illustration/film and editing skills with well-read social media talent whilst dealing one on one with clients and suppliers while also touching on the budget side of things. In terms of production I have had experience over all types of media from initial branding development, packaging, promotional/POS, packaging, and internal material as well as various sized indoor and outdoor graphic artworks. With experience among leading international clients including L'Oreal and Thai Airways with a focus on POS products and marketing ventures.

I genuinely love what I do and come with a passion for this to back up the skills and experience I show now.
