I'm currently self-employed and lives in Sydney, NSW. I obtained my Graphic Design Diploma in South Africa many moons ago and I’ve been a Graphic Designer ever since.
My experience range from being an assistant Studio Manager, Art Director to Senior Graphic Designer.

I see myself as a 'realistic' versatile designer across digital & print! My main aim is to answer the brief and to design with the 'right target market' in mind as well as get the main message across whilst always reinventing my creativity along the way. I enjoy working on campaigns and rolling them out ocross all marketing material but designing packaging (mostly for FMCG) really makes me love my job.
Expertise I can offer:
• Write, take and understand a brief

• Experience with brand development, style-guides, campaigns, point of sale, fast moving consumer goods packaging, trade presenters, digital elements, interactive PDF forms, data merge, pre-press / finished artwork, photo retouching and photography
• Oversee of a small group in a studio setting, manage workflow, quality control, challenges, encourage and motivate on a leadership level
