I'm a senior graphic designer and creative director with over 25 years’ experience delivering strategic, purposeful design across brand, print, and digital. With a Bachelor of Design (Honours) from Swinburne University, I launched my own studio in 1994 and have since led creative projects for government, corporate, and not-for-profit clients—both in Australia and internationally.

I combine design craft with big-picture thinking to help brands communicate clearly and consistently. From multi-channel campaigns to user-focused digital work, I bring both creativity and precision to every brief. I’m highly proficient in Adobe Creative Suite and Figma, and also confident across a range of other design and productivity tools—from prototyping and publishing platforms to video editing and project management software.

Alongside client work, I run Crafted by AKD, an online shop offering fonts, templates, and design assets for fellow creatives. I also explore more playful and personal work through Creative Fever on RedBubble where I experiment with bold ideas and expressive visuals outside of client constraints.

I'm open to freelance, contract, part-time, or full-time opportunities—whether remote or in-house. I’m always open to new opportunities and collaborations—feel free to get in touch to see how we might work together.
