Some words about me:

Born and raised in Auckland, I divided most of my time growing up between reading, and drawing. My love for words and art inevitably collided - and I decided I’d exploit that love to make a living.

After completing a Bachelor of Graphic Design, I took on a number of freelance commissions and short-term contracts. Over the next year and-a-bit, I was able to design brands and logos for clients big and small. I got to try my hand at digital design. I even got to design a small magazine cover-to-cover in somewhat of a 2-week-long, caffeine-fueled fever-pitch.

After all that excitement, I accepted a friend’s offer to visit Melbourne, Australia. I liked it so much I decided to check out the job market. 1 1/2 months later I was still sleeping on the floor of his apartment, but at least I had nailed-down a full-time design gig. Soon I would be able to sleep my own floor, and sleep on my own floor I soon did.

Starting as a junior in a somewhat traditional custom clothing firm, I rode shifting tides as the company grew, and transitioned into the international industry-leading lean development firm it is today. In that time, I produced video content, oversaw photoshoots, and served on development teams. I helped re-construct the internal design process, assisted with a chunky re-brand, and led the Australian design team.

Fast-forward through several trips, moves, and heartbreaks, and you get to round-about-now. So who am I, now?

I’m a fairly chill dude who loves to laugh, and probably does so too loudly and too often. I love to go deep on geeky stuff over a beer or three, I love spending time with friends. I love music, I love movies. I love reading, I love writing. I love learning, and I love teaching. I love business. I love design. I love a lot, actually. Chances are, you’ll love me.
