I value your input! You know your brand and customers much better than I do plus it's important that you actually like the final product. My job is to offer an outside perspective and bring my knowledge of merch and design to the table.
It's important to set goals for what you want to achieve. You're making an investment and you'll want to see the right return. That could be making some money back selling merch or maybe getting new customers to engage with your brand.
This stuff is fun. We get to make something cool together and watch it come to life. After all these years I still love the moment when a design becomes a physical product. Your customers can tell if you are stoked on your own merch, enthusiasm is infectious!
I was born and raised in Christchurch, New Zealand though I've spent a bit of time travelling parts of the world. Everywhere I go I bring back with me memories and influences that inspire my design and illustration work.
My work is grounded in the physical world. I love the feeling of holding something I made or seeing it out in the world. It's either that or I'm just addicted to the smell of fresh ink!
I live in little weatherboard house with my lovely wife and dog. I ski in the winter, surf in the summer, and feel grateful to live somewhere that lets me do both. The city is vibrant and constantly growing and I'm proud to be able to help the businesses and communities who are making that happen.
