I grew up in a very creative household in northwest NSW and completed a bachelor in graphic design at the University of Canberra in 2010.
I'm strongly inspired by pop culture and the world around us. I like to work in 2-3 main colours and to help keep the design cohesive and aesthetically pleasing.
My process is concept-driven and typically begins with working by hand before being completed digitally. I like to send drafts through to the client as I go to gauge feedback and help get the perfect design to suit the job. I have unlimited revisions as I like to make sure all pathways are looked into.
Once I have the design I use a grid system to mark up the design to scale and paint using a combination of spray cans and paint brush.

I love a challenging brief where I can find an interesting creative solution with hidden elements that invite the viewer to find more in the work upon each visit.
