A bit about me...
I have been working in both the New Zealand and UK design industry for the last 25 years. I bring an experienced design mind - thinking strategically and acting creatively. I believe the most effective design solutions are brought to life through unique insight, story-telling and close collaboration.
I have extensive public and private sector experience and a knack for branding, visual identity, corporate communications and investor reporting, delivering multi-disciplinary solutions across a wide range of print and digital platforms.

A bit extra...
I have an abiding love for the craft of design with a special place in my heart for any project involving animals of any variety large or small. I live by the ocean and will continue to be inspired by the mind-expanding effects of good company, great friends, travelling the world and family time.
