With over ten years of industry experience and an educational background in film and motion graphics, I started out in the events industry in Auckland, making shiny graphics for awards shows. Now, I work in my hometown of Kirikiriroa, Hamilton, at Daymark Studio, where I specialise in designing strategic brand identities. My deep understanding of brand systems and their real-world applications, combined with my knack for understanding clients' 'why’, allows me to create refined designs to tell compelling stories.
I have two daughters, Daisy and Cora.
My wife is a primary school teacher.
Both of my parents are oil painters.
I have three brothers; an architect, a paramedic and a builder.
I make my own beer.
I love the cream donuts from Collingwood Bakery.
I do not like celery.
I made dough at Pizza Hut for three years as a teenager.
I have a pretty grey cat called Yolandi.
These are my favourite songs from last year.
