I'M KO.

SENIOR
DESIGNER
/ART DIRECTOR

I CONCEPT, DESIGN, AND ART DIRECT.

​

With over 12 years experience in advertising, there is not much I haven't seen.
From FMCG Retail, full Brand Redesign, and Art Directing, my skills range across all aspects of advertising both virtually and digitally.

​

Working in Auckland and Sydney, I've had the pleasure designing for many of the world's most recognisable brands, alongside multiple award-winning creatives, to help craft and refined my conceptualising and ideas-making skills.
I am definitely no cookie-cutter, and have crafted beautiful works, many of which are live and on display in the real world.

When I am not in the office, you'll find me hanging out with my 2 year old cavalier Nugget, down by the water or local park, still trying to teach her how to fetch a ball.
