When I'm not designing: I spend my time bartending, in the gym, camping, playing with the chickens, donkeys, or sheeps.
Favourite work snack: Donuts and Coffee from the bakery.
Mission: My design mission is to have fun creating powerful, creative visual identities and brands for small and local businesses. Creating more connections between people, community and culture.
My practice is based off traditional, handmade design methods, using physical and hands on methods of creating with real people in mind.
I value authenticity, originality, creativity and simplicity.
Storytime: I have been a creative my whole life, with more of a visual artist approach from my school years. I studied graphic design at university as I loved how diverse of a field graphic design can be. I like to think as a designer I am extremely multiversed - while I have my business niche I work with I am capable of many different creative avenues.
I live in a small town, where community is valued most at heart. Everyone says hello, and if you go to the shops in your crocs you're guaranteed to see someone you know. Therefor through my design practice I strive to provide a sense of community service, create strong relationships and contribute to the cultural fabric of what it means to be 'local'.
