About

I'm a Wellington-based senior designer with a passion for visual storytelling. I work across disciplines to craft design that not only looks good but transforms brands and grows businesses.

Every project is shaped around the needs of the client — because the best results come from collaboration and trust. Whether it's digital, branding, illustration or print, my goal is always the same: work that connects and lasts.
