Evidence
For the last 15 years I’ve been integral to teams developing brand identities and marketing collateral for businesses and organisations around the world.
To me narrative and storytelling are the core of our humanity – how we understand, value, and share our experiences of this beautiful, bizarre, and enigmatic world.
Parts & Labour
Visual Direction, Logo Design, Branding & Visual Identity
We connect more authentically, and with with deeper meaning, when we validate the narratives people adopt to make sense of their experiences.
I’m a proponent of considered strategy for forward thinking design, with emotionally engaging narrative direction.
I am looking to work with forward-thinking individuals and organisations, delivering creative and culturally relevant, impactful, and accessible outcomes.
…with as little stress and as much good humour as possible.
