Howdy

Hi there! I’m Randy, a well-rounded designer, a strategic creative, a people-person, and a sucker for a good bakery. I started my career as an account manager in advertising working for the big shops, and today pair those skills with design to help clients come up with creative solutions to their problems. I’m driven by excellence and being helpful, I’m a lifelong learner, and I’d love to be part of your team.
