Hello.

need better results from your current site, or are just starting out online

Poppies Weddings
A showcase e-commerce site, this design develops the themes created for the original Poppies for Grace site (which I designed in 2006) and ties in dynamic ordering and a custom-built sample pack builder.

Taking inspiration from this company's calm, modern design style, the identity and website I designed for GRYB showcases the texture and color of the unique fabrics they source from around the world, while providing a setting to present important company infomation.

Benambra Queenscliff
The simple navigation and detailed finishes of this site for Boutique B&B Benambra Queesncliff gives the user a taste of the relaxation that awaits. Linked to a local online booking service, the site offers guests all the information they need to book online or pick up the phone, and the results have been stunning.

Victoria Street Jazz Band
Built on the restrictive Blogger network, the polished look of this band site is all the more satisfying. The simple design takes a few cues from the deco era to match the vintage styles of this traditional jazz band.

Homelessness '08
For Melbourne Citymission's annual homelessness campaign I created a
full campaign theme, then rolled it out across a wide variety of media from
newspaper advertising to posters and the web.
The site allowed user interaction and
feedback as well as full online event
registration. The result has been an upturn in support for PJ Day and
increased acceptance of the new method of communication, while reducing
the load on staff.

Men In Tights
The central concept comes form the history of bicycle racing, so strongly tied to the histroy of the newspaper. The men-in-tights.com team liked the idea of a modern newspaper, highlighting the feats of modern cyclists. The finished site is a collection of cycling references old and new and has lifted daily traffic 3-fold.

About
I know it sounds pretty lame, but I really get into the internet. I love that we can share photos across the world, or catch up on last night's tv, or make video calls to and from any number of devices. The internet is so full of opportunities, and I enjoy exploring them for and with my clients.
PAST
Graduating from Swinburne Design School I started my career in graphic design before being enticed to the wide world of the web. Soon I was learning server-side programming and developing ever-more interactive sites and applications, including a large multi-level intranet and a new online help-desk ticketing application.
PRESENT
Backed with strong design skills and up-to-date programming and integration knowledge I now have a broad group of clients with diverse needs. I work hard to create high quality websites and applications that showcase my client's business and build their brand making the most of what the web has to offer.
FUTURE
I'm always on the lookout for exciting projects to work on, so if you're in the market for a new website
or need some work done on an existing design or application please get in touch.
