I’m a highly creative and versatile

designer with strong communication

skills and over 10 years experience in

digital design, print and specifically

E-commerce.

Since moving to Australia in early

2012 I’ve been working as the Global

Digital Design Manager for 2XU - an

Australian sports apparel company.

Prior to 2XU I was working for some

major retail brands in London, both

online and in print. I have very

specific knowledge of best practice

for E-commerce and retail websites,

as well as experience in producing

all online marketing collateral.

I’m passionate about everything I

produce, and I love to see my work

make a difference to a company’s

online presence and overall brand

communication.
