About me

I am a web designer based in the Wellington region of New Zealand.

I specialise in web publishing (show me a CMS and I’ll show you how to use it!) in large organisations. I have spent the last five years working in web environments for various Government departments, where I have gained knowledge in e-Government and web accessibility standards. I’m also fairly good at juggling multiple sites and their day-to-day content updates.

I am probably what you could call a “jack of all trades”, having built numerous websites – right from pencil and paper sketching to a live website using a CMS. I have organised everything for a website to come to fruition; from domain names and hosting through to graphic design, then coding templates, information architecture and of course content management. For examples of sites I’ve created and/or worked on, please check out my portfolio.

I grew up in small town New Zealand – Matamata to be exact – and left just as it was being transformed into Hobbiton. Since then I’ve spent time in Australia and various locations in New Zealand and I’m now living on the Kapiti Coast and working in the Hutt Valley of New Zealand.
