I'm a (graphic) designer and illustrator living in Wellington New Zealand; that seriously loves books and magazines and layout and text and photography. Add a passion for art and animals, images and ideas.. and you have someone who just loves to make things; the words of William Blake is my words too: "I will not reason or compare, my business is to create"
This space showcase a few of my favorite design work as well as other arts and crafts over the last 10odd years.

I create a visual representation of brands, messages, and other communication mediums. I like to support an individual or a business or institution to visually share their messages or service or product.
