A graphic designer, digital artist and visual storyteller. I am originally from Dublin, Ireland and have lived in NZ and Australia for most of my professional career.
I have been lucky to work with Australia and New Zealand's leading creatives, Agencies and Photographers to bring ideas to life. Designing ad campaigns for brands such as Nike, Honda, Holden, BMW, Skittles, Furphy, Dan Murphys, Vegemite, AFL and Cricket Australia.
Sometimes I shoot portraits and live music. Sometimes I write Photoshop tutorials for UK based Advanced Photoshop and Photoshop Creative publications. Sometimes I design logos and style guides and help startups with brand positioning and go-to-market advertising.
I have collaborated with Grammy winning duo Rodrigo y Gabriela, launching their successful music career with album cover designs and photography. As a fan of guitar legend Preston Reed, I was honoured to create and direct some of his music videos. Various personal projects have been featured in Wired, Yanko Design, Mashable, PSFK, Designboom, Trendhunter, MacWorld, Design Taxi, The Guardian, Forbes, Cool Hunting, Puro Diseno, and Gizmodo. Typography work has also featured on the TV Show - The Daily Planet on Discovery Channel Canada/USA.

I have a keen interest in photography, music and technology. I am intrigued by the power of AI and where that fits into the creative process. Most weekends I can be found exploring mountains or dodging crowd surfers while shooting gigs.
If you have a project and would like my input, shoot me a mail below, I'd love to hear from you.
