I am a graphic designer with over 15 years experience. I specialise in typography and design for print, but am also skilled in branding, marketing, corporate design and presentations, and have worked on many campaigns that span across all digital platforms. I also have extensive print production knowledge, which is an asset to the design process and allows me to reflect the brief through my choice of stocks and finishes. I enjoy the visual problem solving aspect of design and creating the right solution no matter what the brief or budget.
