Graphic design is beautiful problem solving for humans. My Graphic Design practice centres around understanding the problem to be solved, and then creating an elegant solution to do just that.My work includes small, large and unusual scale pieces for both print and digital, but I'm an avid believer that print is not dead, and well-placed physical media will have more of an impact than all the digital assets you can imagine. I offer Brand and Identity consultation and specialise in helping small businesses find their voice, their identity and their power. My goal when working with small businesses is to make them self-sufficient in their identity, and not be beholden to me or any other designer. I use the AdobeCreative Suite as well as hand-drawn illustration and lettering.
