Beginning my career in Sydney before establishing myself in Melbourne, I’ve been freelancing since 2005, working with some of the industry’s leading agencies, studios and brands. My career is grounded in a robust pre-press background, providing a solid foundation in print production and design. Over the years, I’ve expanded my expertise across digital platforms and developed a versatile skill set that spans both traditional and digital media. Freelancing has allowed me to engage in a wide array of creative projects, adapting to diverse industries and client needs with precision and creativity. In addition to agency and studio work, my corporate experience has strengthened my proficiency in long-form document design and production, ensuring a meticulous approach to detail and structure.
