I love making people’s visions come to life through my designs. I believe that a creative flair, an eye for detail, strong working relationships, an understanding of client needs and the ability to think outside the box is the key to great design.
My passion for design does not stop at the end of the day. I am constantly researching new design trends, developing my skills and enjoying what we create and present to our community. If I am not doing one of those things you would find me on my bike, working on a woodwork project or hanging out with family and friends. Being a graphic designer is a privilege and is something that I have a humongous passion for.

Experience

 

I have been working as a graphic designer since 2005 and over that time I have worked freelance and on going positions. I work across the mediums of print and digital, from logo design to catalogues, environmental designs to photography and even videography and video editing if the need is there.
