Based in Auckland, New Zealand, I specialise in hand-painted signage of all kinds, along with traditional gilding - the application of real gold leaf - most notably on glass for shop windows and bespoke artwork.

With over 20 years’ experience in the signage industry and an art background from a young age, I’m comfortable producing work that balances strong visual style with long-term durability. Every project is approached with consideration and precision, and an understanding of how signage functions in the real world.

I aim to build lasting relationships with my clients, helping improve their business through eye-catching design and thoughtful execution.

If you’d like to discuss a project or have an idea in mind, feel free to get in touch.
