A bit about me.

I have worked in the creative industries since 2010 and established my own freelance business in 2014.

 

Over the last decade I have created contemporary artworks, illustrations, hand-painted murals and an illustrated children’s book for a range of clients including Women Magazine, Karen Walker Ltd, Spark NZ, ASB Bank, Splore Festival, Eden Park Trust, Lululemon, and Xero. 

As an artist I also paint, teach workshops and my artworks have been gifted to former Prime Minister, Jacinda Ardern and the Māori King, Kiingi Tūheitia. You can view my artist website HERE

 

I work from my backyard studio in Auckland, in-between playing with trains and jumping on the tramp with my little side-kick Arlo.

Let's work together.
