The Story
Originally from Northern Ireland, I started my career as a designer/art director and multimedia artist, working with studios and direct clients throughout Ireland in the areas of branding, graphic design, web design, motion graphics, audio-visuals and performance.
I moved to Australia in 2004. Since then I’ve worked as a Creative Director and Art Director, working with a variety of major advertisers and clients in Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne.
I’m passionate about my work and the challenge every new brief brings. I love the creative process and collaborating with clients and colleagues to find unique and innovative solutions.
With a knowledge base covering creative direction, art direction, design, digital and social media, I have the experience to deliver solutions to any challenge and the skills to produce highly crafted, award-winning work.
