MY STORY

From Designer to Creative Director

My career began in the professional design world, gaining experience working within the fast-paced environment of Saatchi & Saatchi Christchurch.

That foundation built a strong understanding of:

• Brand strategy
• Visual communication
• Creative problem solving
• Marketing psychology
• Consistent brand experiences

Over the years, I have worked across a wide range of industries, helping businesses create identities, websites, marketing material and digital strategies that support real-world growth.

Today, XDC.NZ combines those years of experience into one flexible creative studio.

THE XDC DIFFERENCE

Not An Expensive Design Agency

Large agencies often come with large overheads.

That does not always mean better creative outcomes.

XDC.NZ delivers senior-level creative expertise directly to businesses without unnecessary layers, account managers or inflated agency costs.

You work directly with the designer, strategist and creative director responsible for your project.

That means:

✓ Clear communication
✓ Strategic thinking
✓ Experienced design decisions
✓ Faster collaboration
✓ Better value

MULTI-DISCIPLINARY CREATIVE EXPERTISE

More Than Just Design

Modern businesses need more than a logo or a website.

They need a connected brand system.

My experience covers:

• Brand strategy
• Logo design
• Website design
• Search optimisation
• Google visibility
• Graphic design
• Signage
• Social media marketing
• Creative campaigns

This is why XDC.NZ is structured around connected creative solutions rather than isolated services.
