Design and Art

Brisbane-based, composed and multi-channelled in User Experience Design and Art Direction, with a balanced love for colour, monochromatic as well as black and white design.

I am obsessed with angles, art, beards, coffee tables/coffee, grids, iconography, and monumental approaches to life, architecture, and design.

A fine arts background in 16th Century painting techniques and colour theory continues to inform my branding and typography focus.  

The beliefs I have in brands are brands that offer more than just a surface value. They simplify the focus, are timeless and are distinct within their market, and stand head and shoulders above their competitors. 

I believe in forming habits within an audience and users, solution-focused and I value success, risk,
and failure equally.

Resume 2022

Highly dynamic in user experience and user interface design, with expertise in product design, art direction/design, typography design, brand identity, and design systems.

I work in an Agile environment, always engaging/educating stakeholders and developing style guides/component systems with Native iOS, Android Material Design, and Bootstrap 5; best practices. Experienced in the development of product design with strong governance over successful media,
B2B, and B2C brands.
