I am a freelance Graphic Designer living in Dunedin, New Zealand where I have a home studio. I have spent more than 10 years freelancing in London and Auckland with local and international brands prior to moving to the south. I am a multi-disciplinary designer with a focus on print work using Indesign. I have done a lot of corporate work for pitches and investment documents as well as several jobs for TRA (The Research Agency) which specialises in the collation and presentation of information and data. Clients in this area include Dunedin City Council. BDO, Nibblish, IANZ and while freelancing with MediaCom. Most recently I worked with a team to put together a procurement pitch document for Ritchies helping them to win a huge contract with Auckland Transport. Unfortunately a lot of this work is confidential so I am limited with what I can show on my website.

    logo graphicdesigner illustrator branding designer webdesigner CASE STUDY Dunedin Craft Distillers is situated in Roberts Street in the centre of the characteristic warehouse area of Dunedin, New Zealand. I have worked for several years with this award winning company to design branding and marketing strategy, packaging, a SquareSpace website and print design. In a saturated market Dunedin Craft Distillers needed to stand out on the shelf and focus on what makes them unique. We created two tiers of spirits and evolved to introduce distillery tours with a focus on the use of bread waste and alcohol being made from scratch to appeal to the connoisseur. This is a company that stands by its values no matter what and produces some of the finest spirits in the world.
