I live on the Gold Coast, Australia, where I graduated with a Bachelor of IT with 1st Class Honours from Griffith University in 2004. Since then I have enjoyed working in web design and development.
I currently work full time designing websites from my studio on the Gold Coast in Burleigh Heads. I'm always on the lookout for projects small or large, so please contact me if you need my services.
I like creating unique, clean sites that are easy to navigate. All my works comply with web standards, use the latest industry techniques.
Please check out my portfolio where I have a selection of my recent work.
Switch is a small organic wine producer. They were after something a little different to stand out from the crowd ( just like their wine has ) and didn’t need a lot of content on the site. So I went for a horizontal site and threw some css3 animation in the mix!
Megan from Grace Loves Lace approached me with the challenge of creating a brand and powerful shopping cart site for her new company, all within a tight budget.
Utilising the integrated micro blog and frequent social networking updates has helped the kickstart the company. So far sales have been great and the site has been featured on various fashion blogs.
An online gallery of contemporary, original, limited edition prints. The site and shopping cart is all powered by WordPress providing a seamless and easy to use CMS.
I worked with the team at Design Culture to come up with an intuitive layout that will also be flexible enough to handle the ever growing collection.
Super creative and hyper active. Daniel, a Photographer based in the US needed a flexible online presence… fast! We have set the site up so Daniel can easily add new events and blog posts to the home page. The gallery systems in the blog and gallery sections allow for easy uploading, sorting and automatic resizing. Take a ganda!
Urban collective offer a revolutionary alternative to the traditional methods of building homes. They wanted to reflect this with a fresh, modern site that utilises social networking and blogging in a bold format. The site was designed so they can easily add the new designs and galleries as they are developed and released.
A fun horizontal single page site that features a drag and drop shopping cart that works on mobile devices. We worked with the clients’ designs and they weresuper happy with the result!
Responsibilities: Design
WPS is one of the leading Safari firms specializing on primates. The site design is built to maximise the impact of the incredible photography and the magnificence of the primates themselves. The home page flash provides the primary ‘wow factor’. The firm operates in ten different countries, which brings a huge amount of content. We used the Typo3 CMS which allows them to manage every last detail of the site.
