I hold a Bachelor of Design (Honours) from Swinburne University and began my career in 1994 when I launched my own consultancy. Since then, I’ve worked with thousands of clients across government, private, and not-for-profit sectors.

Through AKD, my freelance business, I’ve built a trusted network of collaborators including designers, developers, videographers, and social media specialists—allowing me to scale projects and deliver across platforms.

I also run Crafted by AKD, an online shop featuring templates, fonts, and design assets to support other creatives. And through Creative Fever on RedBubble, I explore more playful and personal design work.

As a freelance designer, I bring strategic thinking and creative clarity to every brief. Depending on availability, I can support brands and agencies looking to scale their design capacity. I make sure your brand not only looks great but communicates with consistency and purpose across every touchpoint.

I value creativity, reliability, and collaboration—and I’m passionate about helping you turn good ideas into great outcomes.

If you have a project in mind, I’d love to hear from you.
