ABOUT ME I am a multi-skilled designer I like to undertake ambitious challenges, where I can incorporate my geometric design styling into the world. I like to take on ambitious projects that I can fully invest myself in. This often means projects I work on are something I am deeply interested in or inspired by. Working alone gives me the chance to explore more ideas for a project however, I also love to work in groups. Taking initiative in leadership roles and collaborating are things I enjoy, excel in and intend to do more of. With new projects and ideas, I always fully immerse myself in the research and development process to ensure the best results. I like to visualise end products in multiple mediums and forms.
SKILLS Solid understanding of Mac and Microsoft systems, Photoshop, Illustrator, Indesign, Premiere Pro, Print making, Wood work, Metal work, and Print management. I am a commited and prompt individual that loves to learn.

Project Title: MindMats Client: Self initiated mental health campaign. Media: Social media Context: Mind Mats started as a simple conversation between two martial artists, myself and my partner Brett. We discovered we had something rather distinct in common. At some point in our lives we had both turned to Brazilian Jiu Jitsu to combat mental health difficulties. We both felt strongly about how this helped us and knew how much martial arts had helped others too. Our mission is to improve mental health through martial arts. Using my design, photography, illustration and film skills and Brett using his writing, marketting and PR skills we sync together and work as a cohesive unit to spread our message and help others. Let’s start a movement – let’s get more minds onto the mats. #MindMats https://www.facebook.com/mindmats/ https://www.instagram.com/mindmats/
