OVER 24 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE IN GRAPHIC DESIGN AND PRE PRESS PRODUCTION
I am a freelance graphic designer based in Ballina NSW. I have over 24 years of experience in graphic design and pre press production.
I'm originally from Lennox Head, growing up in the beachside town and attending high school in Ballina. I did my certificate in graphic design in Brisbane at the institute of Design in 1998. My first job was working in the Whitsundays for 4 years for a printery, designing all manner of things for the local community and tourism Queensland. I moved back home to join a graphic house in Byron Bay, then onto setting up a design studio and production system for Solprom Advertising & Marketing and Coaster Kings. I was their creative director and pre press operational coordinator along with many other different jobs. I have gained much experience in my years and won the business many awards along the way in sustainable printing.
I love to paint as well, and can be flexible with most jobs small and big. I have an experienced background and understanding in pre press production, and working to deadlines. I'm also good with branding and aware of how colour presents across different mediums.
Skyblue Graphics is my new business venture. I am looking forward to being creative whilst having the flexibility to be there for my family. I am looking forward to supporting my local community and gaining new clients as my business grows.
I also have experience with the special needs community and are aware how powerful a good visual social story can be. I am happy to work with families to produce personal work to suit their needs.
I look forward to working with you on your next project.
