Bio
I cut my teeth in news graphic design, which is a challenging fast pace arena. Since then I have had an interesting and varied career across the world (London) in many creative mediums. I spent long periods at Sony DADC and Tag Design, and short periods at Deluxe.
I am now permanently based in New Zealand and I thoroughly enjoy freelance motion graphics for the diverse nature of work available. Design and changing technology are forever interesting to me. Typography, composition, colour, and depth of field are things I am still striving to perfection. I aim to execute projects with calm, thought-out composure mixed with a built-in sense of urgency to get things done (thanks to my previous career as a chef).
