In 2008 I completed my Bachelor of Design in Visual Communication. I then left New Zealand and moved to Australia (and back again 15 years later) and have advanced my skill set with many more accredited and unaccredited courses.
As the design industry is always evolving, up to date research and study is a passion of mine to stay ahead of trends and technology updates and update my skills.
