About

Hi, I’m Shayne, originally from New Zealand but I’ve always called Australia home. Art has always been my passion and driving force, leading me to explore visual communication and eventually pursue a career as a graphic designer after earning an advanced diploma in visual communication.

As an artist, I find immense joy in creating and expressing myself through various mediums. My artwork has been featured in exhibitions around town, where I love sharing my unique perspective and connecting with others through creativity.

In my design work, I specialise in corporate identity. I thrive on translating the essence of a brand into visually compelling designs that resonate with its audience. It’s about blending creativity with strategic thinking to craft identities that stand out in the marketplace.

When I’m not immersed in art or design projects, you can often find me playing inline hockey. There’s something exhilarating about flying around the rink and being part of a team. Off the rink, I’m passionate about music, particularly playing drums, where I find rhythm and inspiration.

My journey as both an artist and graphic designer is fueled by a deep-seated passion for creativity and a desire to make a meaningful impact through visual storytelling. I’m constantly exploring new ideas and techniques to push the boundaries of both art and design.

Identity Crisis: “A period of uncertainty and confusion in which a persons sense of identity becomes insecure, typically due to a change in their expected aims or role in society”.
