  Graphic Designer / Director MBOSS Graphic Design began as a side project, taking a back seat to my full time design job. When the opportunity arose to expand and take the side project forward, I took it. It was a big risk but it is the best thing I have ever done and I have not looked back once. I have taken all of the knowledge and experience learned throughout my career and am utilising it daily with my wide range of clients. I am still learning every day and each day I grow more and more passionate about design. I pride myself on being very approachable and taking the time to listen carefully to a brief of what the client wants. My ultimate aim is to produce work for people that exceeds their expectations, and to do so in a timely and efficient manner. The best thing is that I get to run my business the way I want to, spend time getting to know each and every client myself, and make them feel excited and confident about the way their own business looks. No other job has come close to giving me the joy that making my very own clients happy does.
