With over 20 years of design experience, I love creating ideas that stand out and connect with people. I love bringing a brand’s personality to life, making sure every piece of design feels true to its values and consistent across all channels. I’m hands-on with prototyping and sketching, always exploring new ways to keep my work up-to-date and relevant. My background also includes web, print, packaging, illustration, and video projects. I take pride in guiding projects from the initial brief to completion with care and attention to detail. Collaboration is a big part of how I work. I enjoy sharing ideas, receiving feedback, and helping the team deliver cohesive, high-quality results. I’m also organised and self-driven, keeping projects running smoothly and on schedule. Thanks for taking the time to review my application. My CV is attached, but I’d be happy to share more work or chat further if that helps. Best, Matt…
