Education
A globally-recognised 12 week national course for aspiring creatives and big ideas. This course pushed me beyond graphic design, teaching me about art direction and concept creation.
Majoring in Graphic Design, WINTEC's (now Te Pūkenga) School of Media Arts provided me with an interdisciplinary education that prepared me for my career across the creative industry.
