Design design, animation, digital art direction and creative management

I've always worked with print and the web from the early days when I helped with one of Sydney's pioneering free music weekly's in it's on and offline offerings to my most recent role at News UK.

I am a multidisciplinary digital designer, team leader and digital art director.

Creatively driven, organised, meticulous, and patient, I offer hands-on and operational expertise to ensure an efficient, skilled team that delivers on client and business requirements.

I am passionate about the creative possibilities of new technologies and the impact on how this changes the way businesses talk to their clients and customers.

I am always keen to see what new platforms and design trends have to offer.
