About me
I help startups focus their message by forming a clear direction and collaborate with existing brands to redefine their visual language to better connect with their audience.
Projects
  • Type in Motion
    Type in MotionA series of retro inspired graphics exploring simple kinetic typography animations. A self initiated brief to help learn some fundamentals of After Effects.
  • Fineline Group
    Fineline GroupFineline Carpentry has humble beginnings, started out by just a couple of carpenters in 2007. It has grown into a leading contractor, providing carpentry, partitions and passive fire services nationwide. Fineline wanted to reflect how much the company had grown and show themselves as more of a professional entity, starting a new chapter in the companies growth.
  • Doughiy Pizza Kit
    Doughiy Pizza KitDoughiy came to me with a logo mark already designed but needed help creating a clear brand direction to head in, they needed to bring the brand to life. No-nonsense product shots, a fresh, bright and uplifting colour palette and a cheeky straight talking tone of voice created a brand that broke away from the stereotypes of pizza.
