About

Since 2004, I’ve been orbiting deep in the creative space as a multi-disciplined designer. I started out as a Mac monkey production master, but gravity pulled me into specialising on building brands for retail, outdoor campaigns to crafting digital content and experiences for web, products, and social media. I offer hands-on design partnership, creative direction, and brand consultation across retail, B2B, and tech sectors. My clients range from startups and indie businesses to global agencies and studios — always adapting to the brief, whether it's full-stack brand development or executing within tight global guidelines. Print or digital, UI or OOH, I bring a user-focused, detail-obsessed approach that helps brands communicate clearly (no signal lost) and look uniquely otherworldly. Still wandering. Still curious. Never done discovering the uncharted.
