I am a Sydney based graphic designer, illustrator and art maker, competent in many design disciplines. I am not only highly skilled and experienced in graphic design but bring extra qualities such as hand sketching skills and great conceptual design talent. I have over 15 years of design experience, and love what I do. I enjoy working with clients, applying my diverse creative talents to solve their unique design requirements. I show initiative and have an eye for not just design detail but production detail too.
