A kiwi Graphic Designer for Film & TV residing in the moody Waitakere ranges of NZ, now home after a beloved 5 years in London. I’ve had the pleasure of working on a range of features and series for Netflix, BBC and Universal.
No two days are the same for me in the Art Department and my scope of work starts bright and early with detailed research in the film’s time period, character development and visual identity. Every Graphic made is informed by this process, from large scale WWII streets plastered with signs and decaying posters to secret love letters and mementoes.
It's with my traditional Graphic Design background in Creative Agencies that I've been able to merge the real and imaginary world together to create new ones that are both informed and crafted to perfection.
