About me

I provide art direction on projects large and small, from creative conception to completion.

Whether the objective is commercial or educational, artistic or technical — I have the know-how to deliver a bespoke solution, always driven by the desire to create digital experiences that meet contemporary needs.

I look forward to challenging and innovative projects that allow me to hone my experience in interdisciplinary design, create conceptual solutions for graphic communication and be responsible for the successful attendance of huge accounts.

I am constantly learning and utilising the latest applications and technologies to communicate ideas — staying ahead of the ever-evolving digital landscape and meeting changing consumer expectations.

I maintain a full range of strategic, creative and technical expertise in the field of digital communication.
