About



I’ve spent over 26 years immersed in the world of design, not as a spectator but as someone who believes in the process—the hands-on, do-the-work approach that creates brands with substance and soul. As one client put it, I’m a designer with “the heart and rebelliousness of an artist.” I like to think they’re right. Design, for me, has always been about a bit of creative rule-breaking, finding that sweet spot where form, function, and feeling come together to make something memorable.

The work I do isn’t just about filling space or making noise; it’s about translating an idea, a story, or even a gut feeling into something that resonates. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of shaping brands across industries, from nimble startups to household names, and in each case, my approach remains the same: understand the essence, then build from the inside out. I’m often the one to question the brief, to dig deeper, because the best brands—those that stick in people’s minds—aren’t afraid of going beyond the expected. Clients sometimes find themselves in places they hadn’t anticipated, but that’s where the magic is: in the unexpected twists, the freedom to explore, and the permission to create something real.

When I’m in the thick of a project, I’m all in. I treat each brand as though it’s my own, and my aim is always to create something that moves people, that feels grounded in truth yet has the audacity to stand out. Design, like any good craft, is as much about listening as it is creating. I make space for clients to be heard and to see their ideas reflected back, shaped, and made better through collaboration. The goal is always to produce something that’s not just polished but that carries weight and purpose—a brand that, like any piece of well-made art, has that spark of individuality and a reason to exist.

In a way, design is a lot like surfing; it’s about finding flow. My time on a project is spent not only creating but letting the work take shape naturally, without forcing it. The result is brands that feel effortless, that aren’t trying to be anything other than what they are. I approach each project with an open mind, and, in the words of another client, with “the breadth of influences and depth of thinking” that bring ideas to life in unexpected ways. This work may look like colours, fonts, and logos, but it’s really a process of building trust, sparking curiosity, and bringing out the essence of what a brand can be.
