Present
Hi there, I'm Nick, a Graphic Designer, Web Developer & Brand Consultant based in Melbourne, Australia.
I have been designing & developing websites, brands, brochures and other creative/interactive works on a full-time and contract basis for 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 and have a proven track record of designing, developing & implementing successful on and off-line projects.
Past
I made my start in the creative industries 14 years ago studying graphic design & multimedia at the Queensland College of Art and later relocating to Sydney, where I scored my first position working as a graphic designer full-time.
Relocating back to Brisbane two years later I worked abundantly for nearly 5 years as lead designer & developer for a private college, developing a variety of websites, brochures, online learning systems and complete re-branding. 5 years later I realised it was time to seek new opportunities so relocated to Melbourne - the creative hub of Australia.
Future
Since my move to Melbourne in 2006 I have worked for an rock company (who I still work for), have built up my freelance business and have been lucky enough to travel to 14 countries and 32 cities around the world. I have also become an avid photographer, ambitious cyclist and fanatical with graphic design, web development and photography books.
