I was commissioned by Momentum Worldwide to create a typographic lock-up for use in a print and online campaign during Sydney's 2014 Mardis Gras. The brief was for the type to intertwine with itself and have subtle gay aesthetic cues
I was commissioned by Maxim (US) Magazine to create an opening spread typographic illustration for an article on the gold miner And star of Season 4 of the reality TV program Gold Rush, Parker Schnabel. The illustration takes on design cues from the amazing machinery involved in gold mining.
I was commissioned by the publisher Simon and Schuster in NY to create a typographic cover for a new novel by Justina Ireland named Promise of Shadows. The lead character in the story is a Harpy (mythical part woman part bird) so I've integrated a feathered theme to tie in with this.

Q1. What inspired your passion for design and who has been there supporting you from the beginning?
My inspiration has come from a variety of source of the years but in terms of my original interest in design I would have to say that growing up as a skater in the 80s had an enormous effect on me. I used to spend hours pouring over skate magazines, and couldn’t get enough of the graphics created by the likes of Jim Phillips and VCJ.
