About

I am a freelance designer based in Wellington, NZ. I have previously worked for Dyson in the UK and completed freelance projects for clients in Dublin and London.

Shown here are mainly my own personal projects. Ellydees and Steelcase are both freelance jobs I completed in 2011. Citro is a college project from 2012.
