Hello,

I’m a professional Graphic Designer/Senior Creative Artworker working within multiple industries for 20 years - Traditional and digital advertising, brand, health, travel and charity. I’ve also just moved to the sunny Queensland from Sydney and am on the hunt for my next opportunity.

In recent years I’ve been freelancing at internationally respected agencies, developing key communications for local and international brands, creating identities for small businesses, rolled out a POS campaign for an Australia-wide World Cup Campaign for a global beverage brand, created B2B online and print collateral for a global petroleum company and have helped create countless UIs for a global credit card company.

I pride myself on having an honest ability to understand related departments needs, excellent time management skills, well versed in the workflow and managing traffic through a studio, an advanced level of knowledge on studio relevant software, being adaptable, friendly and professional. Having had permanent positions and a freelancing career in a variety of companies and sectors. This has given me the insight that no one job/colleague/client/process works the same way and an ability to adapt to this has been a skill I enjoy.

If you’ve read this much, I hope to hear from you soon.

Christian
