With over 20 years experience in the industry I've done everything from DL mailers to the livery of a Boeing 747.
CAREER HISTORY
I have many years experience in the industry, and have worked on a wide array of jobs for an equally wide array of clients. From bus sides to Boeing 747’s and everything in between. Included several years at Interbrand developing brand guidelines so I know my way around them.
I have expertise in the original Adobe CC trilogy of InDesign, Illustrator and Photoshop, with a smattering of motion graphics, eDM, web and UX (Sketch and Figma).
More recently I’ve been concentrating on Figma and AI workflow solutions.
I’m equally at home in digital or print and have done my fair share of packaging, signage and fit-outs. So I know my plates from my pixels.
