I’m a Sydney based junior-mid designer who always has one eye actively looking for exciting creative opportunities. My skill set includes print and digital media, branding and identity, packaging, product design and activation design. I believe that design needs to move at the same pace as culture and I’m here to ride that wave in creating provoking and compelling work.

My most recent employment with The Projects which has allowed me to work closely with clients such as Mercedes Benz, Little Creatures, The Urban List, Rimmel London, Samsung, Little Creatures, Bundaberg Rum and many more. Here I was able to collaborate in concept development, build deck templates, mock ups for activations, events, lockups, floor plans, preparing print ready and digital, work within strict style guides, and liaise not only within my design team but with accounts, production, strategy, merch and content. I love working amongst likeminded creatives who steers culture in the right direction. I’m looking to learn

new things, be inspired, be challenged, and grow. This is what I look for in a job.

I’ve worked as a Product Designer at an international candle manufacturing company. Here I was given a platform to take the creative lead on many projects allowing me to grow my skills in branding, packaging, and candle “vessel” product design. We’ve successfully launched a brand called Scent Maison atop many packaging and candle design work for the Australian and international home fragrance market with brands like Costco, Dusk, Cotton on, TJMAXX, Target, Woolworths and many more.

I’m ready to put all my design capabilities into creating smart, thought provoking, ethical and positive design. This is the designer I strive to be.

Hoping to hear from you, Dan.

The Web of Creators is an event that showcases and celebrates the work of local artists, musicians and creators of all artistic backgrounds. There is a lack of momentum to support an expressive culture within our western suburbs and this event gives young artists a space to share, collaborate and network. I submitted a collection of graphite on paper art pieces for their opening launch night.
