A bit about me
Born in Dunedin, New Zealand and raised in Bluff (on our world famous oysters), I’ve been in the graphic design industry since 1987. That's a long time, but I'm still passionate about this industry which is ever changing and adapting.
A true gemini (as far as that stuff goes) I’m a mix of both introvert and extrovert. Small details and big picture. Practical and creative. I love to find creative solutions and to add value to everything I do.
My career has been a mix of working with some of the top design firms in New Zealand and freelancing. I started out as a typesetter at a printer's and worked my way up, trying lots of different roles from layout and design, to management. I've discovered that I'm at my best when I'm hands-on and working with great collaborators, which includes my clients who I consider to be an integral part of the team.
