Specialist in designing thoughtful, innovative and sustainable branding and packaging solutions for multinational clients and their products.
Branding is the face and story of any business or product – it is often the first thing seen and remembered. For that reason, it has become Todd’s passion to create thoughtful, innovative and sustainable design solutions for local and international clients, large corporates through to emerging start-ups.
With extensive experience in bath and beauty products, home fragrance, food and drink, editorial, events and the gifting industry, he is extremely capable at taking projects from concept brief through to final presentation, print and packaging. Todd has sound knowledge of global trends, brand strategy and customer behaviour, has good sourcing contacts and a solid proficiency of the application of print and packaging technology. He thrives in a client facing role and his eye for detail, chromatic and typography skills are exceptional. A selection of Todd’s work can be seen in this portfolio.
More personally, Todd also harbours a love for teaching and mentoring. This is seen through his role as a mentor and pre-selection judge for the International Council of Design (ico-D) and Adobe Design Achievement Awards and in his relentless enthusiasm to motivate and up-skill junior designers just starting out in their careers. He also shows an insatiable interest similarly in new and vintage brands and has published many articles.
