Personal Profile
My strong passion for design and illustrating started from a young age, but my skill sets have really expanded and grown to a high degree due to work experience and completing my degrees. I completed a four-year Fine Arts ?Degree at UCOL, Wanganui, majoring in Printmaking where I did ?life-size multi block wood prints, silk-screens and etching. I have recently ?completed a nine month course in Computer Graphics at Natcoll, Wellington, where I learned Indesign, Photoshop and Illustrator. Since then I have been living and breathing design, critiquing every design, poster or advertisement that I see. I constantly think of ways I would improve it or how they could have done it differently.
My strengths include strong self-motivation, reliability, quick-learning, honesty and trustworthiness. I am a great team player willing to do what it takes to get the job done.
I believe the reason why I enjoy drawing and designing so much is knowing it will be displayed and hopefully inspire people (especially future designers!!!). Walking around town and seeing anything that I have designed gives me the most amazing and overwhelming feeling of achievement.

Harvey Norman Tory Street Nov 2007 - Jun 2009
My time at Harvey Norman has provided me with a solid understanding of business. I started as a part time sales consultant and then moved into a full time role in the Photo Lab. I was in charge of designing and printing signage for the store. The sizes of the signs varied from A6 to large 4 metres high and 2 metres wide posters. The timeframe varied from something that needed to be done on the spot to a 2-3 weeks project. An example of the jobs is the Super Hero sale, where I did pricing signage, dump bins and catalogues. For Christmas 2008 I designed all the signage, and banners that hung down from the ceiling of the stores.
