Summary
I have over a decade of experience as a professional graphic designer and in that time I’ve come across projects of all shapes and sizes. I’ve tried my hand at almost any kind of visual design you can think of, from pencil to mouse, digital to print, and web to video. I work with independent and small business owners (such as a local marriage celebrant and theatre producers) as well as larger corporate clients (like the National Retail Association, the ABC, and Critical Stages) no project is too big or small. It’s always worth getting in touch with your design needs because if I haven’t done it before, I’ll learn it. Have a look below at some specifics about my experience as a designer.

I am both a digital and visual artist. I’ve produced original artwork for many clients, creating unique designs tailored to their brand.
