About me

I am a web and graphic designer based in Melbourne Australia, where I run a one-person studio called F6 Design.

I have been working in the web industry since 2000 and running F6 Design full-time since 2004. Before embarking on a career as a web designer I earned a bachelor degree in Fine Arts, and spent several years working as an arts administrator in New Zealand.

In my professional life I am motivated by a deep love of graphic design, digital media, and typography, and am constantly pushing myself to hone my craft as a designer and web developer. At the heart of my practice is a passionate belief in the power of thoughtful, user-focused design.

It’s not all about pushing pixels though. On my days off you might find me kicking back with my family, reading a good book, or making bleepy electronic music.
