My Potfolio

I am a professional creative and technical specialist based on the Mornington Peninsula. I have many years of training and industry experience.

I have been involved with computers for 40yrs and professionally classically and digitally involved with graphic design and advertising for 34yrs.

I started learning Computer Aided Design at Caulfield Institute of Technology at the age of 8. I got my first manual type and graphics setting job at 14 in 1984. Since those days, I have worked many positions in many industries. I have spent many years as a design and production expert, working for specialised personnel agencies. I worked for 5 years internationally and for 3 years locally for large advertising agencies, graphic design studio's, production houses, fashion houses etc.

I was renowned with creative personnel agencies for the ability to quickly learn and adapt to any creative or technical scenario; mostly, within 15 minutes/ up to an hour, I was able to speedily take on full duty and responsibilities of most any assigned position or station. Providing art directors, teams, account managers, production people etc. with all their requirements, transparently as if their absent team member was present and working at full capacity or better. I have been trained in many creative, technical and educational disciplines. I have constantly personally developed myself in all my base fields and all disciplines and fields that stem or are created additionally by them. I have highly developed computer and software skills, mastering a mind boggling amount of software packages and have extensive experience with a very large range of versions of software and hardware packages.

I have dedicated my life to helping people communicate and visualise their idea's, needs and dreams, both creatively and technically.

I am currently creatively and professionally better and more skilled than I have ever been and am able to problem solve almost any scenario.

No matter who you are or what you do, how big or small your business is, I will provide you with all-round services that will make a difference.
