I specialise in the creative development and marketing of corporate brand identity across a multitude of collateral including digital and print publications, brochures, marketing campaigns, signage, websites, social media, promotional products and more. My grounded knowledge of design for print, large format and digital processes ensures that I deliver professional design solutions conforming to today’s industry standards and design trends. I have produced a dense body of work over the last 16 years; from business cards to 24m bulkhead signage, multi-page programs to large format posters, corporate branding to CD/DVD cover art and just about everything else in between.

The Church (band) www.thechurchband.net
In 2009, I was approached by The Church band management to help out with their design requirements. As a lifelong fan of the band it was a great opportunity to get a glimpse behind the curtain and experience first hand the fast paced world of music marketing. I worked on programs and posters for their 30th Anniversary Acoustic Australian and US Tours, Future Past Perfect Australian and US Tours and the Psychedelic Symphony one-off show at the Sydney Opera House Concert Hall.

Plastic Passion, an ongoing venture, showcases photographic and digital techniques, capturing action figures as still-life, imperfect details, models in macro, serious toys and poised statues - all intended as art, as portraiture, for fun and as something more profound than the fake-plastic-realism of their existence. A combination of all of the above - make of it whatever you will but always remember it’s about the art of making and playing!
