Design + Art Direction

About

I’m a brand designer that wants to make life simpler, more beautiful and more enjoyable for people.

I craft influential brands that you want to taste, listen and be a part of.

My daily life is immersed in hospitality, culture, interiors, travel, music, art and architecture, so naturally I love designing for these worlds.

Working in the creative industry for over a decade, both contract and full-time roles at renowned studios Winkreative, Special, Hingston and Eskimo. During this time I have had the opportunity to work with global clients, shaping progressive brands through strategy, brand identity, storytelling, digital, film, print & environments.

Since 2022, I’ve been working as Design Director at The One Centre, leading a close knit team of creatives to bring brands to life in everything – from identity and aesthetics to all forms of brand interaction, communication and experience.

I pride myself on my empathetic leadership, authenticity and combination of thoughtfulness and craft.
