About Me.

For over 17 years, I've worked as a designer and educator, holding both permanent and freelance positions in branding, packaging, independent event design, and editorial design. My experience spans London and Melbourne, Australia. Currently, I'm a senior lecturer in BA Hons Graphic Design at the University for the Creative Arts, specializing in editorial design, typographic design, concept development, client-facing briefs, and competitions.

I'm now eager to expand my freelance work into the world of TV & Film Graphic Design.
