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.
