An insight into what makes me,
me.
It all started when I was a young whipper snapper, crayon in hand, scribbling on anything and everything. My mum was a very talented artist; she raised us with a pantry full of paints and art projects every weekend - and I haven't stopped since. I’ve always had a creative itch driving me to think, ideate and dream up new and beautiful things. When the time came to pick a career, I knew it had to be a creative one. After trying just about every creative pursuit under the sun (including crochet, lego for adults and pottery), design above all else is the one that always drives me. It gets me out of bed in the morning, makes the days fly by, and I can't drive down the street without analysing every typeface and logo I see. This brings me here, making my start in what I know will be long and fruitful career in design.
Aside from the life story, I am hard-working, loyal, and an intuitive learner. I have been described as charismatic and personable. When I don’t have my head in Adobe, I love to be outdoors in the surf and snow, catching up with friends and you’ll often find me obsessing over my latest furniture restoration project. I'm an oat latte kinda guy, I roll my jeans up at the ankle and my middle name is Jonathan.
