ABOUT ME

My passions are sport and music. An avid golfer and keen following of the AFL, whilst also playing trombone, guitar and percussion. An ideal weekend would see a quick 18 in the morning followed by a game of footy at the ‘G, then head to the Forum to catch a gig in the evening.

I love to travel and ski when the budget allows, or just catch some flicks on TV with my partner Lauren and some of my famous home made fajitas.

CAREER OBJECTIVE

I love learning new skills, so am always looking to expand my repertoire with new programs to learn and projects to undertake.

I am looking to utilise and extend my creative and development skills through taking on interesting, challenging and inventive multimedia design briefs, possibly leading to one day managing my own design and development studio.
