About

Typography / Environmental / Publication / Branding As a freelance designer, I've worked for a wide range of clients since 2008, including AECOM, Imperial War Museums, Kainga Ora, the Heart Foundation, Old Royal Naval College, Gillespies Architects and St James's House Press, The Royal Society, as well as at design agencies such as Insight Creative, Them® and Graphicks. Before moving back to Wellington I freelanced in London for three years, and previous to that I was the in-house Graphic Designer for The Dowse Art Museum and Petone Settlers Museum. In this role, I designed exhibition brands, labels and signage for over 150 exhibitions, as well as publications and some exhibition spatial design.
