After a couple of years working in a typesetting firm as a finished artist (think drafting boards, set squares and bull gum) in Wellington, NZ, then a few years as a copywriter and ad designer for the Marlborough Express newspaper in Blenheim, NZ I finally set up shop as a freelance designer from home. That was 1992 and now some umpteen years later, I'm still flat out working every hour under the sun and lovin' it - mostly. Now my wife and I have three children that we are homeschooling while I have now progressed to a separate office - that's a full 10 second walk from home. No getting stuck in the traffic on my way to the office, unless you consider tripping over the kid's bikes and scooters traffic. I love the branding process and creating new identities - it's my greatest work pleasure. Along with a heap of wine label design work, brochures, business collateral and a bunch of other things too many to mention.
