Senior Graphic Designer

I am a skilled graphic/illustrator, with 8 years experience and in particular 5+ years experience in the action sports industry, in particular cycling. I have worked on numerous graphics within the industry, most notably in marketing, bicycle colour & graphics, product packaging, p&a graphics and retail.

I am currently the Sr. Graphic Designer of product for Walmart bikes across the United States and create colour and graphics for a number of bicycles across a variety of disciplines.

I enjoy all things design and in particular illustration. I like to create designs that are both modern and bang on trend but also like to fit the design with the history and feel of the many brands i work on, creating the right vision for their individual consumer bases. 

Always open to new and exciting opportunities, i continue to strive to improve further and create great work. I am hard-working, enthusiastic and ambitious and also available for freelance work.

Outside of work, i would love to travel more, take in different cultures and open my eyes to new and exciting design possibilities.
Amongst other things i enjoy football, tattoos, film/tv, good food and of course the sociable drink :)
