I’m based in Newcastle, NSW, Australia. I’ve had several international clients, as far afield as the UK and USA, as well as having worked with some wonderful local collaborators. I’m no stranger to writing long emails and chatting on Skype – as long as your idea can reach me, we’ll be right!

Drop me a line – I can create a picture that is worth any thousand of your words!
