Below is some of my recent work.

~Web Design~
Freefall Xtreme http://www.freefallxtreme.co.nz/ The people at Freefall Xtreme wanted a website that stood out and that represented their company. This website represents that and also visually shows what their company is all about. Bold colours and moving objects add to the sites appeal.
Christian Fellowship Upper Hutt http://www.cfuh.org.nz/ An easy to use website was required for CFUH. The website includes a calendar, audio messages, news and announcements, weekly newsletter and many other features. The website was made so that it would be easy to use and easy to know which page you were on for.
eTaunga - Heretaunga College Intranet http://intranet.heretaunga.school.nz/ School Intranet for Heretaunga College created using Microsoft SharePoint. This dynamic and ever-changing website was set up so students would be able to access school documents, email and other information from the comfort of their home or the classroom.
Health Freak http://www.healthfreak.co.nr/ TVNZ NetGuide Web Challenge 2008 Multi-award winning website created using HTML, CSS, JavaScript and Flash. For this website I used interactive flash components, interesting content and bright colours to target my audience. My website was awarded 3rd place as well as the Mission-On Healthy Lifestyles Award.
Nihon http://www.nihon.co.nr/ TVNZ NetGuide Web Challenge 2007 Multi-award winning website created using HTML, CSS, JavaScript and Flash. This website was aimed at a college aged audience and again was built using bright colours, lots of interactive flash components and a fun quiz. For this website I received 3rd place and the TVNZ Best New Media/Interactivity Award.
