The nitty gritty

Hi, my name's Will, and I'm a graphic artist from Christchurch, New Zealand

I'm very much a jack-of-all-trades when it comes to design & art. I'm an experienced graphic designer for both web and print, illustrator, photographer and have a strong foundation in traditional arts.

I do everything from branding for local metal bands, to ad management for one of the largest kitchen and joinery manufacturers in the South Island, and every thing in between.

If you've got any questions or would like to know anything else, you can find my particulars at the top of this page.

Thanks very much for your time.

Cheers

Will Dougan
