Available to hire
I’m a multi-dsicplinary designer working across visual communication and product design, with a keen focus on environmentally-aware design and how to progress this within my own practice.
My skills and previous experience encompass all aspects of Visual Communication and Product Design. This includes creative direction, branding, brand strategy, typography, marketing strategy, exhibition/trade show design, corporate communications, UI and UX design (mobile and web-based), wayfinding and interpretative displays, accessibility standards, 3D visualisation and photography. This variety has allowed me to develop a strong understanding of visual storytelling, typography, and design strategy.
I’ve worked as a tertiary qualified Visual Communication Designer for private and public sector organisations in Melbourne, Brisbane and Sydney, and as a Creative Lead on a consulting basis.
Private sector companies that I’ve worked for include small to large design studios, advertising agencies, architectural practices, urban design, planning and construction firms.
