About

Thanks for taking the time to view my website.

I am a graphic designer, illustrator, animator and front-end developer with many years of professional experience in various channels of visual communication.

Over the years I have responsible for the creation of a diverse range of marketing collateral, from responsive websites and online applications, to physical product development and animated product demonstrations.

I am also skilled in branding, typography, print-production, copywriting, technical and editorial illustration and video post-production.

In recent years, working for Ramler International, I have also designed furniture and consumer electronics for major global hotel brands.

I am acutely aware of my environmental responsibilities - My studio features natural lighting with efficient climate control measures, equipment uses power saving modes and is turned off at night, I recommend 100% recycled stock for all print initiatives, and any paper or packaging that comes in from external sources is recycled.

After hours I am a husband, father and musician.

Testimonials

As the world changed to 'digital', Simon came to master web design, coding, animation, 3D modelling, video editing and sound production. He loved the challenge of new technology and ran to meet it... Simon is a joy and pleasure to work with... I cannot recommend this unique creative talent highly enough.

Dale Stevens

CEO, Scimitar Advertising

I have worked in the computer and related areas for over 30 years, and in that time have met many people with talent and ability. Most are players, and some are stars. Simon is a star, and I am sure will be an excellent mentor for any young person fortunate enough to work with him.

Pip Smibert

CEO, EduHelp

It was a great pleasure to work with you and the results you achieved are excellent. They have certainly been commented on most favourably both within the company and by the customer. I really appreciated the time and effort you put into supporting us on this project. I was well aware you regularly worked all night meeting our deadlines and, although I felt a little guilty, I did manage to sleep soundly!

Hector Donahue

GM, Tenix Defence
Commodore, Royal Australian Navy

I thought I would take this opportunity of thanking you for your efforts. I believe our association has been very productive, especially in terms of our new image. Your contribution to our company's success has been greatly appreciated.

CEO, Englehart Homes

Simon was instrumental in the marketing of 'Second Quack', a fundraising initiative of Anglicare in response to the success of Heston Blumenthal's 'Fat Duck' restaurant phenomenon. Simon created the front-end of the microsite - the project was completed within both time and budgetary constraints, and Anglicare were delighted with the results. (EXERPT)
