Hello there, I'm Fabian, a multi-disciplinary graphic designer based in Sydney and currently Design Lead at The Interaction Consortium.
Since 2003 I have been active in various fields such as print, branding, editorial design and web design, both as a freelancer and for several design/advertising agencies. Since 2008, I have been increasingly focused on interaction design and user experience.
Working predominately as a freelancer and at small agencies has made me the kind of designer who likes to get his hands dirty at all stages of the design process, from early research and conceptualization right through to the final execution. As such, I am just as comfortable with a pen and paper and a couple of silly ideas as I am with preparing files for print and wrangling with front‑end development.
One day I hope to be able to play the opening clarinet solo glissando from George Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue like a pro… though I admit this may never happen.
