ABOUT

I am an experienced designer, creative director and design manager.

Having built design businesses from the ground up and helped guide one business (Precinct) through an IPO as part of a marketing services group (Enero) I bring valuable business understanding to my design thinking.

I have worked in just about every industry sector and have particular expertise in financial services and healthcare. I have been responsible for the development of innovative approaches to expanding design businesses and strategic direction.

Based in the Southern Tablelands between Sydney and Canberra, I frequently travel between both cities.
