About

Hey! I’m George, a designer based in Tāmaki Makaurau, Aotearoa. I’m a multidisciplinary designer with a special passion for brand identity and packaging design. I have completed studying a Bachelor’s in Design and Digital Media at Whitecliffe, where I built extra skills and experience in 3D design, publication design, animation, physical interaction design and photography. I love to learn new things, so tell me about your brand of creativity and I can get excited about that too!
I’m a nerd who loves all things science fiction, cooking, traveling, indie pixel games, and going for walks. I live in Mount Eden with my wife and plants.
