I am a Melbourne based Finished Artist and Graphic Designer. I have been in the industry for over 20 years. I've freelanced as a finished artist / Graphic Designer for the last 12 years.
My early pre-press experience gave me a solid background in print-based work, my experience freelancing provided me exposure to a myriad of advertising agencies and design studios that helped with my layout skills to become an accomplished creative artworker and Photoshop retoucher.
In addition to advertising I've had the privilege to work in corporate environments as well, which have developed my experience in setting annual reports. What I do like about my job is the diversity of projects I get to work on. Anything from working on After Effects animations to typesetting an annual report in Indesign but generally speaking creative Photoshop retouching is what I get most excited about as there's always challenges.
Below are some examples of Sydney based companies I have worked for as a freelancer: AdCorp, Advertising Energy, Alias Creative Works, Sudler & Hennessy, BWM, DDB, EKH, Mercer Mix Inc, Principles, RWK Design, Saatchi & Saatchi, The Ideas Group and The Marketing Store. In Melbourne: JWT, ISS Marketing, Grey, McCann Erickson, Oakley, Precinct, Balance, Crown, Cotton On, Clemenger BBDO, Boiler Room and many others.
Prior to my freelance work I held full-time positions at the following Sydney based companies: Imatec, McGrath, On Demand Digital Imaging, Wysiwyg Design. In addition to my graphics skills I offer audio and video production services.
