I am a designer with a predominate interest in design for print. My focus is on editorial design, branding, identity, and design for exhibition. Although my main interest is design for print I am open to developing my digital skills where relevant. The areas I am most interested in working in are start ups within the cultural sector and retail sector, including the fashion industry, music industry and publishing industry.

CONTACT I LIKE BIRDS • DR.ME • ALEX WITJAS • CATALOGUE • LAURIE MILLOTE • JACK GRAFTON
ALEX WITJAS It absolutely is. But truthfully, it isn’t necessary. Graphic design at it’s essence is technical, if you know how to use the programs you can be a graphic designer. When creativity is introduced, that is when you get books, or invites, or posters, or magazines that start to feel like art objects in their own right, and not just vehicles of communication.
JACK GRAFTON Creativity is important in that its the backbone of all design. I think an individual who works in the creative field who isn’t creative, in some sense of the word, will struggle to make anything of value. I think that everybody is creative in some way.
DR.ME A monkey can be taught to use creative suite, your mind is the post powerful and unique gift you can ever bring to a piece of work regardless of what area of Design you’re working in.
I LIKE BIRDS It depends on the client, the solution and the job. New, clever, unusual and surprising solutions are (mostly) never wrong.
CATALOGUE We do think creativity is important within Graphic Design, even the most commercial brief can benefit from a little creativity. We would never pin point ourselves as being “creatives�, but subconsciously good designers are creative people and it is important to try and inject that into all your work.
LAURIE MILLOTTE I think creativity is primordial, and not just in Graphic Design. More and more, it is what differences is us from computers. Life should be taken creatively, and if your job is to create brands, than even more so. What I love the most is burst of creativity in areas of life people never thought of looking before (Method Cleaning products is an example, a fun and storytelling wine label is another ;)
‘THE CREATIVE ADULT IS THE CHILD WHO SURVIVED’ - Ursula K. Le Guin
THE FUTURE
I envision myself working in an independent studio where creativity is welcomed and encouraged. I would like to work with start up businesses within the sectors and industries I have already mentioned. I aim to find a balance of client work and self initiated projects.
