I am travelling the world, from Sydney to London to New York City, becoming a creative with an unusual mongrel-esk accent.
Over the past 10 years, I have been involved in a passionate love-affair with design, including 6 years as a freelancer in the United Kingdom.
I am a design perfectionist who is obsessed with pantones, print-techniques and pixel-surgery; I particularly love challenging a user's experience on the web.
From 2007 to 2008, I was appointed Creative Director at Busara in London. I decided to leave the position in mid-2008, to develop and explore the different work environments in the London design market.
Over the past 12 months, I have had the great pleasure of working for top clients, including: Adobe, Bench clothing, Oracle, P&G, Avid & Coca-Cola.
I have recently relocated to New York City and am embracing the opportunity to expand my creative mind with the city's exciting non-stop energy and to be a part of its massive influence on modern graphic design.
“Richard was brought in to provide visual designs for a government project. His work was of consistently very high quality and were well-received by the end-client. His designs were always produced on time against a background of tight timelines and changing requirements.”Nick Hanling, Project Team Leader, Adobe Consulting
"Richard was employed as a freelance senior designer and art director on various projects, and was involved in the full creative process, from initiating concepts to implementing design to liaising with various groups during build.
I felt he brought creativity and enthusiasm to finding design solutions to the brief, whether working alone or with a team of designers, and demonstrated an understanding of the client’s needs as well as the desire to push the ideas creatively. His eye for detail and general design sensibilities resulted in beautifully crafted sites and he was always determined to ensure that the execution and build of those designs was of the highest quality. He also stepped in on several occasions to take on work from other designers and develop it further.
Richard was proactive and responsive to feedback, and his easy going manner meant he became an integral part of our digital design team during the relatively short time he was with us."
Daniel Angel, Design Director, SAS Design
“Richard is a fantastic member of a team, he really 'gets' the brief and is amazingly fast at turning work around - something that is always helpful in this fast paced environment with very tight deadlines. Creatively he is superb and I would have no hesitation in recommending him and hopefully to work with him again in the future.”
Sinni Simpson, Producer, SAS Design Design
“Richard is an amazing designer and Creative Director, who produces consistently high levels of work, which far exceeds expectations. I worked with Richard on several successful large accounts for P&G, Oracle, Bench and other well known consumer brands.”
Arif Harbott, Chief Technical Officer, Busara
“Richard is always a pleasure to work with, he values other peoples views and opinions whilst openly discussing his own thoughts. He is open to suggestions but monitors projects well and makes sure all goals are met within a set timeframe. Richard is easy to work alongside, he is a talented designer and a great team leader and always pushes for the best results from people.”
Luke Sturgeon, Flash Designer, Busara
