This site features some 'choice cuts' of work and various 'off cuts' that never made it to the table. Seemed a shame to throw them away, as it were. Proper grown up case studies are coming soon... when i have the time, maybe.

Currently head of design at Fitzroy, I've had my fingers in many pies. I've designed, concepted, hired, peered and motivated other designers. I’m a hands on creative… comfortable in various roles.

I literally have oodles of design experience, which I enjoy imparting to juniors, interns and other designers through mentoring, nurturing and the odd raised eyebrow and unimpressed expression.

My advice to anyone about to embark on an exciting design career or those out there having a creative mid life crisis, is to relax and just enjoy what you do. I mean, its not rocket science, design is an intuitive and mentally refreshing activity. If you enjoy what you do, have fun while you do it and have a good team around you, then you can create pretty much anything. Stop moaning that the budget is too small, that your power mac is too slow, that you don’t have the resources… Just get on and do it. Times'a wasting... now get out there and make something awesome.

As for me, all I’ve ever wanted to do is create beautiful engaging work. Work that I’m proud of, work that I can hold up to my mum and say “Mum! Look what I made!” In the end... isn’t that what we all want?

I also like snowboarding & cooking.

Thanks for listening.
