Present
Hi there, I'm Nick, a web developer & graphic designer based in Melbourne, Australia.
I have been designing & developing websites, brochures, logos and other creative works on a full-time and freelance basis for nearly 9 years. In this time I have had the pleasure of working on a vast array of projects for clients in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Tokyo & London.
Past
I made my start in the creative industries when offered a position by my school art teacher to study at the Queensland College of Art where I would spend 1 day a week learning about new media design (it was 1996 so was very new at the time!). Following this I spent a further 2 years studying full-time at various design schools around Brisbane and later in Sydney where I scored my first position working as a designer full-time.
Relocating back to Brisbane two years later I worked abundantly for nearly 5 years as lead designer for a private college, increasing & implementing my skillset. At this time I realised it was now time to seek further opportunities so relocated to Melbourne - the creative hub of Australia.
Future
Since my move to Melbourne in 2006 I have worked for a rock solid company (who I still work for), have built up my freelance business and have been lucky enough to travel to 14 countries and 28 cities around the world (not that i'm counting). I have even become an avid photographer, ambitious cyclist and fanatical with graphic design, web development and photography books.

I ask all potential clients to email project details. Why? It's easier for me if you provide a written in-depth indication of your exact requirements, it also grants me with adequate time to analyse and provide you with a proper quotation and project timeline.
Please note I have a minimum 2k budget for any project.
Need to call me? I will no doubt be busy working away but please leave a message and I shall return your call asap - 0402 074 970
