I’ll probably be described as a generalist. I have mixed being a graphic designer, multi-media designer, and design teacher for years.

During my career, I have worked as a designer for over 30 years and as a design lecturer for over 20. I have worked on multi-national brands, creating, building, maintaining and protecting their brands. I trained in the UK and began my career working on multi-national FMCG brands before heading to Australia for the wedding of two long-lost and long-divorced friends and before I decided to stay.

For 20 years, I lived in Sydney before moving to Melbourne 12 years ago. Since arriving here in Australia, I have worked with design and advertising agencies large and small as well as with clients directly, developing marketing material, including brand identities, brand guidelines, packaging, brochures, signage, point-of-sale and other promotional material. As well as multi-nationals, I have developed branding and packaging for boutique brands and small and micro businesses.

Way back when, I trained a photographer, though I had to put it on the back burner as my design career took over. I have no intention of being a commercial photographer, it is my escape from design, where I can still be creative without the need to answer a client brief.

I also have a side hustle, called The Known Knowns, I’m building with a couple of friends. It is a resource for creatives to build their knowledge of the industry and software through mentors, projects and videos. We have started with design and will expand into photography and other creative disciplines. Here is a link to the website and a link to the YouTube channel.
