Over the last 13 years I have created a variety of digital images used in advertising for clients including; Vodafone, Yellow Pages, TV3, BMW, MINI, Prime TV, Loreal, Mitre10, Cerebos Greggs, NZ Herald, Foodstuffs and Avis. Along with a keen interest in photography, the years spent working with agency creatives and photographers has inspired a passion for retouching and offered a great deal of experience to go along with it.
Originally from a prepress and scanning background, I gained my qualifications in 1999. This invaluable knowledge formed a solid foundation going forward, when a move to London led a shift into the advertising and design environments. After freelancing in London for three years, with a year managing a corporate design studio, I returned to New Zealand in 2003 taking a role as a production manager with a packaging design company. The past few years have seen me retouching and freelancing for various creative agencies in and around Auckland.
Throughout my career I have been lucky enough to work in many different areas of the industry. This enables me to offer high-end retouching services along with specialist production knowledge related to FMCG packaging design; and general design through to finished art. With a broad understanding of the industry I bring a wealth of experience to any project and would love the opportunity to work with you.
I comprehensively understand all commerical artwork applications and I have the ability to work on or off-site to suit your project requirements on a contractual or freelance basis. |
