What's all this, then?
Hmmm...the About Me page. It's sort of a tricky one because you want to sound like a cool guy without sounding wanky and you want to sound skilled and talented without sounding up yourself.
Designers these days tend to say they are ’purveyors’ of design. But to be honest, I’m more of a picture man than a words man, and I don’t actually know what purveyor means. It sounds sort of like a surveyor, but with slightly pervy tendencies.
So lets just get to the point.
I hate M*A*S*H. I love conspiracy theories. I wish I could be a magician, but until I work on my act I’m an illustrator and designer. I've also been known to dabble in the world of photography.
In 2009 I graduated with a Bachelor of Design from Griffith University's Queensland College of Art. Since then I have worked full-time in a boutique advertising agency in Brisbane and have this year made the move to Melbourne.
So hire me: I’m desperate! (Though in a cool, talented sort of way... and without any perving).
Why not say hello!
