Hello Eftsure team and welcome to my site. I’m an independent and globally-recognised creative, specialising in weaving together brand and digital.
Most recently, I have been Creative Director for Landor Australia and KPMG Digital Experiences.
My experience stretches from rebrands of Australia’s largest logistics firm, crafting the seal for Denmark’s finest cabinetmaker, to designing life-saving digital products for the NSW Government.
