I'm Dan, I run an independent creative studio, partnering with businesses and founders to create refined, meaningful brand experiences. Explore selected work below, and get in touch to discuss your project.
Over the years, I’ve collaborated with leading agencies heavyweights and creative teams including:
• Traffik • Momentum • Banjo • The Borough • XPO Brands • Geometry • Jack Morton • One Partners • Clemenger Group • JWT • Publicis • Gensler • DDB • Weber Shandwick • Naked • The Shop Australia +more.
I have delivered branding, campaigns, visual identities and creative communications across a range of industries.
I care deeply about good design, strong ideas and work that feels both considered and timeless. My approach combines strategy, craft and visual storytelling to create design that not only looks refined, but communicates clearly and connects with people in the real world.
Outside of design, I’m passionate about food, travel and discovering new experiences with my family. A long-standing love of crêpes began while living in France as a child — something made even more inevitable by growing up around my parents’ crêpe business. Creativity, culture and curiosity have always shaped the way I see the world, both personally and professionally.
I feel fortunate to do what I love every day. Collaborating with great people and creating meaningful work with purpose and personality.
I’m always open to collaborating with people who value the distinction between good results and truly great outcomes. I appreciate working with thoughtful, driven individuals who take pride in delivering meaningful impact and continuous improvement.
If that sounds like you, I’d welcome the opportunity to connect.

In my previous role as Design Manager at Qantas, I had the pleasure to work with Dan. Dan is an excellent designer who is incredibly proactive and always willing to lend a hand. He was a big help to the design studio, particularly at a time when the business was recovering from Covid and was beginning to ramp up marketing activity. He is a team player who collaborates effectively with stakeholders to deliver desired outcomes and would be a solid addition to any team where creativity and teamwork are essential.

Dan brings fresh ideas to the table and understands that branding goes beyond mere aesthetics. He's collaborative and mature enough to understand what battles are worth fighting - always in the interest of his clients. Dan's character can be summed up as: "All the design smarts, without the ego.

Strong branding is one of the smartest investments a business can make.

The result is an asset that continues to generate value long after the project is complete, supporting sustainable business growth over the long term.
