A little about me

I am a Graphic Designer from Sydney NSW, who lives and breathes creativity. I'm constantly seeking new methods and tools to expand exciting creative endevours. I have had experience with both agency and freelance contract work among a vast variety of clients, ranging from Nikon, Google, NSW Government, Krispy Kreme, Harvey Norman, Domayne, Thinkwater, LJ Hooker and many more.

I am extreemly passionate for learning new skills in all things creative and solving problems from start to finish, thoroughly and methodically. Through many years working within the design industry i can confidently provide HTML/CSS, Illustration, Layout/Print, Motion Design, Animation, Photo Retouching, Logo Design and Digital Design services.

My Specialties

Motion Graphics / Animation

I am self taught from the beginning of my design career in Adobe After Effects and Adobe Premier Pro. I released my own cartoon series episode entitled "Loui", all written, storyboarded, illustrated and animated myself. From writing the cartoon i have now applied my motion graphic and animation skills to clients such as My New Home Brisbane and Thinkwater Dural.

Designer

I took my first step into the design industry in 2010 with the advertising agency "apparent" where i learned a lot of important lessons crucial to working in the design feild. From there i have worked for a myriad of different companies and clients providing usually a very mixed bag of services and working with teams and clients to achieve the best quality result.

Illustrator / Artist

From the day i was born i had a pencil in my hand. Illustration, Art and particularly Drawing is my oldest skill and passion. I am always excited for the opportunity to implement illustration into a project if it fits. I love incorporating art with design to help a right angled world get some colour and curves.

High quality webdesign

I have a strong knowledge and experience with HTML and CSS front end design and coding. From user interface design to editing Wordpress and Shopify templates, i can work to meet your web design requirements. I have worked on landing pages and EDMs through the years on tight deadlines in high turn around environments.


Illustration

With a rich background in art and drawing i have been able to deliver high quality illustration work for corporate companies such as the NSW Government with the character illustrations for the childerens game "Good Glen and the Bad Eggs" wich went on to win an ADMA 'Mobie' award after its debut in the Royal Easter Show. Along with corporate illustrations i have also created a vast range of artwork for a company i used to co own 'Circus Grim' in wich we would airbrush custom art on Guitars, Shoes, Skateboards, Motorcycle Helmets and much more along with designing and cutting vynil stickers and a breadth of work for various musical acts around the world.


Motion Graphics and Animation

I LOVE Cartoons. Ever since i was a child i have loved animation and cartoons. I had always wanted to create my own and i did. 'Loui' is the first cartoon i wrote, animated and produced. Based on a voodoo doll who does assasin missions for the grim reaper, achieving his goals by self mutilation. From doing my own cartoon i developed a passion and a self taught skill for both character and title animation along with motion graphics and filmography. Since then i have gone on to produce a number of video content peices for various businesses, like this one for Thinkwater Dural.
