About
Design is not only my profession but also my passion. I graduated with a Bachelor of Design in (Visual Communication) and have designed for reputable companies including: Lasoo.com.au, SAMSUNG, KMART, AMP, NRMA, AAMI, gamehead.com.au and iinsight online.
I am an interactive & print specialist based in Sydney, Australia. I have 6 years experience in online and print industries. I have designed for a variety of clients across many industries in Australia, Japan and the USA on a full-time and freelance basis.
Over the last 4 years I have been employed as a Lead (UI) Web Designer for Bizexpress; a web design agency specialising in web design/development and web applications. During my time at Bizexpress I gained a great deal of experience designing websites & user interface/application design.
In my previous positions as a Web/Graphic Designer, I dealt with international clients, designed websites, publications, brochures, corporate identities and icons. I have also developed an understanding and method when designing for specific cultures through multilingual websites and publication design. Working under pressure to meet international and local deadlines is part of my everyday role.
