Profile
I'm Shane, a freelance Art Director, Design Director, and Creative.
I'm a multi-disciplined, curious and enthusiastic designer, with a great eye for crafting bold and beautiful visuals. I'm able to think, make, and manage teams.
I’m passionate about great ideas, but most importantly, making them happen.
A hard-grafter, problem solver, and an approachable mentor, I thrive in sharing my experience, infectious energy, and give-a-shit attitude, striving to get the best out of my team, and any brief that's thrown my way.
Over the last 11 years, I have worked for a range of creative businesses, from large advertising networks to smaller independent agencies.
I’ve since had the pleasure of working with some of the world’s biggest brands - from finance to beauty.
I've provided conceptual thinking, art direction, and creative solutions, across a mix of campaign, branding, digital, content, and social briefs.
