About Me

I live in Adelaide, South Australia with my beautiful family.
I enjoy creating colourful characters and dynamic designs.
I am available for commissions and freelance work of any kind.
I hope you enjoy my work!

Background

In 2006 I completed a Bachelor of Visual Communication with a major in illustration. Since then I have spent 5 years working as a Multimedia Graphic Designer, with a focus on education and learning materials. As a freelance illustrator I have worked on a variety of projects, from children's books to portraits to art exhibitions.

Illustration

Click to view a list of my illustration services. If something is not on the list, make an enquiry as I'm sure it will be something I can help you with. View samples of my services in the Portfolio section.

  • Children's Art

    I have completed many paintings for boys and girl's bedrooms. I can create an original artwork from a favouite animal or theme, or I can personalise one of my existing pieces.
  • Portraits

    My commissioned portraits are completed from a reference photo, which can be of any size or quality (I have completed portraits from a blurry passport photo). The subject can be painted very straight and true, or with some artistic license and the use of a more eclectic colour palette.
  • Educational Illustrations

    I have 5 years of experience developing visual content for TAFE SA and other learning organisations. I can provide exact technical illustrations, or something that is more creative/humourous and maximises interest in the content.
  • Editorials

    I have a good mind for visualising concepts and have a very adaptable style that can suit any brief.
  • Children's Books

    After the success of Columbia Sneezes, I am very keen to get back into the world of children's books. If you are a publisher I have probably already sent you a portfolio. If you are someone with an idea for a character or a story; with plans to either self-publish or approach a publisher; I would love to hear from you!

  • Logos & Identities

    I can create a logo/identity in any number of styles to fit any brief - plain and corporate through to illustrative & playful.
  • Business Cards

    Business card designs to fulfil any brief or budget. Everyone likes a flashy card, but sometimes simplicity is key. Its up to you!
  • Posters & Flyers

    I can design posters, flyers and promotional collateral of all kinds. I am particularly interested in designing posters for music gigs and other live performances.
  • Banners

    I have plenty of experience designing for large pull-up banners, as well as some other forms of signage.
  • Packaging

    Most of my packaging experience involves CD & DVD packaging. If you're a local musician looking for some album artwork, I would love to hear from you!
