2019 - PRESENT:
FREELANCE GRAPHIC DESIGNER & DIGITAL ARTIST
My current role encompasses all aspects of the creative process, from facilitating initial discovery sessions through to concept, production, proofing, and delivery of final design assets.
Proactively engaging clients, I identify overlooked opportunities in a given market and present clients with project proposals that emphasise financial success over mere trends.
Client happiness and retention are crucial to my work. By providing regular updates, consistent communication, and a well-defined project timeline, I aim to provide clients with a reliable, predictable, and enjoyable creative experience that exceeds expectations.
2011 - 2023:
FREELANCE INTERNATIONAL TOUR MANAGER.
Working intimately with artists and artist management, I successfully designed and executed domestic and international tours from club level to full stadium productions over the course of a 12-year career.
Having had the privilege of touring with artists such as Kings Of Leon, Muse, and Skunk Anansie, I gained invaluable insight into the expectations of high-level creative professionals and how to craft, manage, and deliver a financially successful project, taking it from initial budgeting through to final production.
Managing a diverse team of individuals from different disciplines, cultures, and backgrounds, I adopted a leadership style rooted in collaboration, fostering a productive and creative environment for the team to solve problems creatively and remain motivated and engaged throughout a tour.
2008 - 2011:
FREELANCE ILLUSTRATOR & GRAPHIC DESIGNER.
From 2008 to 2011, I served as a self-taught freelance illustrator and graphic designer, engaging in a variety of diverse projects that spanned merchandise design, print design, and digital.
During this foundational period, my role largely centred around interpreting and creatively executing client-driven projects with accuracy and reliability, delivering artwork that closely aligned with the client's vision.
This role was instrumental in building not only my technical capabilities but also my understanding of client needs, serving as a crucial stepping stone toward more dynamic, creative positions later in my career.
