About
In a nut-shell I am a creative maker, designer, website designer, website specialist, artist, marketer, SEO person, online advertiser and business person. I have been designing, drawing, painting, creating, marketing (and advertising) and building all sorts of things and involved in business my whole life… even from a young age growing up on our family farm. I own a website and marketing agency called Green Valley Digital.
Update 21/01/24: in January 2024 I also launched You Beaut Websites.
Thank you for visiting this website :). This is my little freelance website.
I am based in Queensland, Australia. Feel free to contact me if you would like to commission me to create or provide any of the services listed on the services pages of this website, want more information or have another reason why you would like to reach out and say hi. I look forward to hearing from you. If you have a job and are not sure if I can do it, feel free to also contact me. Chances are I can or know the right person who has the expertise to help.
I work with people all around Australia and other countries. Like most, I use Zoom, email and the phone when working with customers. I also arrange freight or postage when delivering business cards, printed marketing materials or anything I create for those I work for. Delivery for larger projects can also be arranged.
My team and I enjoy working with people in large, medium and small sized businesses, organisations, not-for-profits, clubs, charities, grass-roots groups, etc. We also enjoy working with entrepreneurs, solopreneurs and philanthropists… and anyone who wants me (or us) to create something for them đŸ™‚ . I luv creating things for others — it is a joy :).
I’ve been creating websites professionally for over 18 years – am a bit of a veteran.
In total my team and I have over 70 years combined experience.
During my career we have worked for many people in many sectors, industries and areas within Australia and in some other countries. It has been a privilege.
Shout-out to my team! It has been absolutely fantastic working with you daily for the last 18+ years! What a journey… and so many great memories!
After growing up on our family farm, I then spent my late teens and 20’s in Brisbane where I started and pursued my career in the communications, commercial design, signage design & manufacture, architectural model making, newspaper advertising, illustration, storyboarding, web design, branding, graphic design, film and TV, SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) and digital marketing industries. I then relocated to the tranquil Bundaberg/ Bargara/ Elliot Heads coastal region in 2008 (if you have never visited this region it is well worth it – some photos and info is here). I still live here about 60 or 70% of the time. The rest of my time is divided between the Sunshine Coast, Brisbane, my friends farm 1.5 hrs west of Brisbane (Gleneden Family Farm), Brisbane Valley, the North Burnett, Agnes Water and a few other areas.
My bio is on this page of my Green Valley Digital website.
I am a big believer in customer-service and exceeding expectations, without exceeding budgets. I work for people in a variety of ways:
- Freelance
- Via my agency (Green Valley Digital)
- White label services (for other agencies and freelancers)
- Partial Pro-bono work (typically only for grass-roots groups or similar)
- Partial Contra
One of the things I greatly enjoy is seeing my clients succeed in business!
I started and established my agency 6 years ago. I know first-hand what it takes to start and grow a business. My team also assist with freelancing projects. We can handle any sized project or job. I also have other highly trusted sub-contractors I can call upon when needed.
After a spell away from making models I am scratch building models again as well… and developing my airbrushing skills. I’ve also started making movie props for people for movie sets and for their collections. In recent years I also took up paint-pen art. I now also custom paint surfboards, skateboards, wakeboards, canvas and any other surface (large or small within reason). This has seen me start to use my Signwriting skills again as well… and I’m now considering starting to do mural art. It is all a lot of fun!
