I collaborate with artists, bands, and their labels to deliver outstanding album cover designs, tour posters, digital assets, and merch designs.

Vinyl album design for NZ indie-rock band, There’s A Tuesday, created by Front&Back

I designed the vinyl sleeve artwork and layout for There’s A Tuesday’s debut album ‘Blush’, available on limited-edition coloured vinyl, as well as their nationwide tour posters.

Sola Rosa — winner of Best Electronic Release at the 2002 New Zealand Music Awards, called for an ultra-slick website redesign to match his amazing new album.

New Zealand band tour poster designer

We can hook you up with posters, flyers and digital assets for your next tour.

New Zealand punk band, Bleeders album cover design and layout, and t-shirt design

I designed Bleeders’ vinyl sleeve artwork, and t-shirt merch in collaboration with illustrator Matt Parry — covering everything from print-ready files to digital assets for Spotify and Bandcamp.

Choose a designer with the creative and technical know-how to design your album artwork, lay out your vinyl gatefold, create your tour posters, run your fan newsletter, build and host your website, design your band merch and socials, and deliver digital-ready assets for Spotify, Bandcamp and Apple Music.

Let's get your project sorted!

My stint as a concert photographer

As a creative with a deep love of live music and underground music scenes, picking up a camera and capturing these moments was a natural step. During my time in Taiwan I was a dedicated and passionate concert photographer and scene documentarian.

Auckland-Based Album Artwork Designer

As an Auckland-based graphic designer specialising in music artwork, I work closely with artists and their labels from initial concept through to print-ready and digital-ready files. Whether it’s a vinyl gatefold, a CD digipak, or assets optimised for streaming platforms, I handle the full creative process.

I was selected to judge the Vodafone New Zealand Music Awards, now the Aotearoa Music Awards, for Best Album Cover, bringing an expert eye to creating standout album covers in the New Zealand music scene.

While living in Taiwan I developed and ran GigGuide.tw, a platform dedicated to championing live music and artists in Taiwan, featuring gig listings, live photos, album reviews, and scene reports. I also turned my hand to music promotion, putting on tours there for New Zealand bands Die!Die!Die!, So So Modern and Wax Chattels as well as a number of shows with Taiwanese artists.

Front&Back shares an office with these New Zealand music industry heavyweights; DRM NZ, Lorraine Barry Management, Concord Music Publishing, and 100% Good. Steve Leggat recently designed the vinyl album artwork for Blush by There’s A Tuesday, bringing his unique creative vision to the band’s latest release.

I’m proud to have worked with award-winning artists including Sola Rosa (NZ Music Awards), Tom Scott (2019 Taite Music Prize), and Vera Ellen (2024 Taite Music Prize).

Combining my love for music and design, I’m ready to design your next album artwork, digital assets for Bandcamp, Spotify, and Apple Music, or merch. Whatever you need!
