Illustrator & Graphic Artist, Melbourne studio

Working with clients everywhere.

Custom illustration for corporate reports, publishing, packaging, and textiles.

Visual storytelling bridges the gap between a compelling narrative and its audience. As a versatile commercial freelance illustrator, I partner with agencies, publishers, and creative teams across Australia and worldwide to design custom visual content. My work blends traditional analogue craft—like custom linocuts, hand-drawn pen and ink—with modern digital illustration precision.

Why work with me?

Commissioning custom artwork for a major publication, packaging line, or commercial campaign can feel daunting. When deadlines are unyielding and production costs are high, you cannot afford to gamble on unpredictable talent or poor communication. You need an artist who respects your timeline and technical specs as much as the craft itself.

Choosing to work with me means you collaborate directly with a senior creator. Having spent over 25 years working alongside agency art directors, editorial teams, and corporate marketing managers, I operate as an agile, highly reliable extension of your team.

I translate abstract creative briefs into original, functional imagery that serves a clear commercial purpose. Because of my deep technical background in the print and digital production industry, my artwork arrives flawlessly built to specification—high-resolution and ready for production, saving you time and preventing costly prepress errors.

How I Work: My 3-Step Process

I believe great work comes from close collaboration. We will partner together every step of the way, from the first concepts through to proofing and the final production-ready artwork.

1. Briefing & Concepts

We discuss the project brief. I then sketch layouts and the narrative thread.

2. Digital Refinement & Creation

I refine the approved concepts, building them using Illustrator, Photoshop, or InDesign.

3. Technical Setup & Delivery

Sign-offs, artwork is finalised, and high-resolution files are delivered for print or digital.

Professional Affiliations

I am a professional member of the Australian Graphic Design Association (AGDA) and Illustrators Australia, upholding their professional standards and codes of conduct in all my projects.
