I’m a motivated, enthusiastic designer with broad experience working remotely and in-house
for agencies, institutions and startups since 2002.
I design with empathy, creativity and curiosity: I want to create work that helps people find
success in their day-to-day lives; I aim to produce distinctive, original work that helps spread
good ideas to spread; I continue to learn new techniques, tools and mediums across both
digital and analog, for both commercial and personal creative pursuits.
Clients have included the BBC, Australian Broadcasting Company, KIA Motors and
UK Parliament. Projects have been featured in The New York Times and Guardian.
