Lovely to virtually meet you! This is just a quick overview of who I have worked for and how my career to date has unfolded…

It all started at the end of my 6th form year, my cousin at the time was a Senior Designer at Montana Wines and they needed a Studio Finisher over the Christmas Holidays. I absolutely loved working in a creative environment and the idea of going back to school was one that didn't even cross my mind, so I worked full time and studied part time over two years whilst gaining my qualifications.
Once I had graduated, I got a full time role as a Junior Graphic Designer at Montana Wines, then after a short 6 months, Montana Wines made the decision to outsource their Design requirements. The entire team (all 25 of us), were made redundant. I didn't let this deter me and picked up work with the agency who won the contract, so I could gain more experience.
I then decided it was time to get back into the wine industry – as I was passionate about wine design. I applied to Villa Maria Estate to be a Graphic Designer with them. During my time there, I learned a lot about the wine industry and developed a real passion for delicious New Zealand wine.
From there I went to Lion (slightly branching out to Wine, Beer and Spirits). I had many roles during this time including Design Team Leader and Marketing Design Team Leader by the end of a fantastic 8 years!
I then worked full-time exclusively for 18 months at Heart Creative Ltd.
Since February 2018 I have rejoined the team at Villa Maria Estate managing the internal Design Studio. I can't wait to see the adventures that await; I am absolutely stoked to be back there!
I still work for Heart Creative Ltd outside of the 9-5, so please drop me a line if you would like anything created. I would love to hear all about your project and bring your ideas to life with you!

I have a Diploma in Computer Graphics and have worked as a designer for over 20 years for agencies, privately owned and multi national companies.

Below are some examples of the work that I can do for you…
Branding, Brochures, Point Of Sale, Invites, Advertising, Packaging, Styling, Website Design, Banners, Corporate Documents and Pitch Documents just to name a few.
