They bring a marketing team the experience to shape a brand’s visual direction and the hands-on skills to carry it across websites, campaigns and print. Comfortable developing concepts, producing finished work and guiding other designers, they can take ownership of a project and keep the creative connected to what the business needs to achieve.  

Their commercial background spans agency and in-house roles, including responsibility for related brand portfolios and the collateral supporting them. They have developed identities, campaigns, publications and website designs, working with marketing leads and business stakeholders to keep the creative consistent while responding to different needs. 

Digital projects have included customer interviews, journey mapping and website redesigns. They enjoy working through the problem before settling on the design, with recent research adding a deeper understanding of accessibility and inclusive experiences. Motion graphics, video editing and print production give them several ways to bring an idea to life. 

Teaching has kept them closely involved with design practice and sharpened how they explain it. They guide people through creative decisions, give feedback and help turn an initial idea into a finished outcome. Alongside that work, they have continued taking on selected design projects and exploring how emerging tools can support the process. 

They were thoughtful about what makes design effective and clearly enjoyed helping others find a stronger solution. For a marketing team or studio, they bring an experienced pair of hands, someone who can question the brief constructively, explain the thinking and stay involved through delivery.

They are open to relocating to Auckland or Tauranga.
