Freelance graphic designer with ­­­over 6 years experience in the industry. For the last 3 years I have been lucky enough to work alongside 3rd generation Signwriters, Designers and Typographers, learning the ways of the old and of the new. I believe this has given me a practical and unique view on the world of graphic design.For 6 years I've been designing automotive/sports advertisements, this is something that I specialise in and i also really enjoy. I have extensive experience in the signage industry implementing my design skills across the board, from large scale corporate projects to Small Business and personal signage design.My passion and sole purpose is to communicate your message and get your voice heard by merging old school traditional with new aged digital to produce bold, original, inventive ideas and designs.
