PERSONAL

PROFILE

My focus is always on one simple idea, that looks appealing and communicates well. To find a good solution, the key is to ask the right question… through relevant research.

My career began with Packaging, POS and Print, then Brand Identity and Web Design. Working directly with my own clients, my knowledge and skills expanded into video, DVD design and new languages for the ever-changing HTML environment, all self-taught.

For over 25 years, I have taken each project from creative brief to the finished product, many delivered solo, and I am equally happy to work as part of an efficient team.
