Welcome to my personal design site. On these pages I’ll share some projects I recently produced in Canberra Australia. From graphic design to website development and management. From blobbing ink with a 0.25mm Rotring Rapidograph ISO pen to a ‘squishy’ line made by an Apple Pencil stylus on an iPad Pro, the challenge is: Always be vibrant.
And with my Apple Pencil I can to go back to a passion for drawing I had years ago, without the blobs. I’ll show you examples soon.
Semi-retired, mainly I only work on projects that inspire me and sustain me.

I’ve been working on a few charity websites for old friends and on a fabulous new project for myself. MyBigBrag is a website that allows me to offer my years of experience and skills to a range of new customers who need photograph repair and restoration services.

Graphic design (visual communication) has been grappling with the global change to digital communication since the 1980s. I am fortunate to be a pre-digital designer trained with drawing and typographical skills that did not need a computer to impart a message. But have also been very fortunate to be at the forefront of the electronic change. From … Continue reading Blogs
