Artist | Art Battle NZ | Rockit Art & EventsI have embraced the Events string to my bow to help encourage and discover creative talent. As an expressionist painter, first and foremost, I understand the benefits of making marks, for both therapy and reward. To unearth and inspire. To make a difference. To provide a platform in an often stuffy and elitist industry. That is why I am dedicating my time to Art Battle in New Zealand. Visit artbattle.com to understand the cause and motivation - enough said.Rockit DesignAfter 8 invaluable years as creative manager at Independent Liquor NZ I decided to go it alone - and Rockit Design was born. I position myself as creative partner to businesses big and small. I work with my clients and/or marketing teams to hit home, to pop off that shelf and to 'big up' their USP. A selection of brand and product work (below) highlights some creative diversity over the past few years, national and global brands.I have recently taken a part-time role driving the NPD initiative at MAKAN DRINKS LTD. With unlimited potential and a reasonably free reign, we strive to create NZ proud winning brands across the beverage industry and beyond.I keep a hand in the creative output at CH'I DRINKS LTD (the drink that needs no introduction). More recently I was approached on a creative content and sales basis for SMART DISPLAYS LTD, where I generated meaningful digital content across the Auckland city residential network, reaching 30,000+ Auckland residents and visitors daily.In a 'past life' at Independent I was responsible for creating and maintaining many iconic NZ and international brands, including Woodstock, Vodka Cruiser, Codys and Carlsberg. A million dollar brainchild of mine was to turn 6 pack shots into a mixed pack Gift Box, with seasonal appeal. Their popularity took them state to state across the US. At a similar time I was directly responsible for the budget beer NZ Pure, which still ticks along nicely (great name). So.. my design skill set:Concept ideation, integrated campaigns. Experience in pitch work, strategy, creative direction and finding the best way to communicate through touch points. Specialising in brand development and product design.
