▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬THE QUICK OVERVIEW:▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬I’m an experienced Designer who applies energy, originality and sound thinking to print, digital & beyond.I’ve been called a ‘forensic designer’ because I enjoy peeling back the layers of a brief to reveal the core purpose, then building the design around that. It’s an approach I’ve taken throughout my career in design companies and advertising agencies in New Zealand, the UK and Ireland. A love and respect of the fundamentals of design is the platform I use to explore design mediums, from traditional print to digital applications. I enjoy this creative industry. I collaborate with talented people. I win awards. I never stop exploring. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬THE FULLER PICTURE:▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬Wᴏʀᴋ ᴘʜɪʟᴏsᴘʜʏ‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾My work philosophy is based on four key aspects:► True creativity: I pride myself on creating excellent creative work. I need to create. It’s what feeds my soul – be it an identity, a book to keep and treasure, or a website that takes you on a delightful journey. ► People matter: Sharing and sparking off others is where the magic happens. ► Reliable delivery: Being flexible and responsive with an attitude to enjoy challenges makes it possible to thrive under pressure.► Mindful: To design responsibly.Dᴇsɪɢɴ ᴘʜɪʟᴏsᴏᴘʜʏ‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾To me, design creates brands – shaping them, repositioning them, elevating them, or supporting them. No matter what the size, medium or budget – it’s about keeping the bigger picture in mind. And brands must be human.
