Education
Studying at the KABK was a great turning point in my design career as it gave me a clear focus in what I wanted to do as a designer in a more creative and conceptual environment.
I achieved high grades with a mark of 8.5/10 for my final thesis and a 8/10 for my final graduation project – The New Divinity.
The Graphic Arts course at NMIT was a more Technical design course with a focus on getting a production job. I achieved high distinctions, the Print Works Scholarship and the Innovative Design Award.

Feel free to ask me anything
I love building stories with Graphic Design with a focus on Brand Identity. New or old Brands, concept is key to building meaningful and unique identities that have lasting power. My approach is to break down the concept to it’s foundation and then build a connective story to each other.
Commitment, flexibility, independence, experimentation and inventiveness are key words when describing myself. More importantly, I’m a collaborator and a team worker. This certainly works well in a diverse inspired team environment.
