Design

I have many years design experience including as a graphic designer, interactive designer, web designer and app designer. I’ve been a managing director in my own businesses at Supr (2025), Splendrous (2020 – 2025) and previously at Nic Moore Design.

I started my professional career as a graphic designer and founder at Nic Moore Design. Next I was an interactive designer and developer (at Sunshine Multimedia, The learning Group and Cadre Design) designing and building digital training and educational courses and interactive games at interactive companies in New Zealand and Australia. Then I became a marketing coordinator and designer at Thomson Financial in 2007, starting my marketing career.

After Nasdaq at Samsung I managed the in-house graphic designer, digital specialist and creative agencies for creative.

While at American Express I briefed in agencies with detailed mock-ups that I had designed. I also designed many campaigns myself for both digital and print at American Express using Dokio & Photoshop and created many website pages and managed the backlog for the Amex Connect website.

At Commonwealth Bank I designed mock-ups / wireframes for websites and platforms, plus icons, buttons and colour palettes. I managed the Product and Process Library website and the build of a new website called Compass. I managed an internal web developer and an external web development and design company.

At Harmoney I briefed in the in-house design team for creative for marketing campaigns and product updates. I managed a creative agency Alt for a major Harmoney rebrand. I also did some design work myself for both print and digital including; the annual report, direct mail flyers, paid advertising (Meta & Google), email design and more.

At Employment Hero I directed the in-house design team for marketing campaigns and have also worked with external agencies on the Swag website design and build and to develop the Swag brand. At Employment Hero I use Figma to create wireframe mock ups of the Swag website (and I wrote the copy), lifecycle email design mockups and Swag app content and UX screens. Plus I use Canva for social posts.

I designed the Supr brand and website and managed all aspects of the business.

At VeVe I direct the inhouse creative team and also design paid ads and landing pages myself.

iOS App Design

In 2020 I founded my own app design business Splendrous where I was the only employee working multiple roles; Managing Director, Design Director & Developer and Founder. I designed and built five iOS iMessage apps end-to-end myself; Love from, Ozzie Slang, Kiwi Slang, Christmas Greetings and All Talk. I also designed the Splendrous website (WordPress) and all content for social media (Canva).

#1 in The App Store

Three of my Splendrous apps made it to #1 in the Apple App Store. Kiwi Slang and Christmas Greetings both made it to #1 in the New Zealand and Australian Apple App Stores in December 2021, and Strayan Slang (now called Ozzie Slang) also made it to #1 in the Australian Apple App Store in March 2024.
