early signs of creativity at 5 years old.

Since he was 5 years old he was drawing copies of the famous Nike 'swoosh' logo. Here is a boat...

Jourdan is an Australian Creative living and working in Australia. He spent several years designing for Australia’s biggest brands such as Coles, Optus, Bonds, Holden, Best&Less and World Vision.

A Senior Digital Designer with proven abilities to work autonomously on Learning Management Systems for Online Learning Experiences, front-end website development with coding and database-domain backend knowledge.

He is currently releasing his own design products such as the Get The Met book, a unique one-of-a-kind publication on Melbourne’s railway history and design.
Followed on from the success of the First Edition, a newly minted Second Edition has been released. A staggering 300 page hardcover book with extensive visual history.

A vortex of energy in the independent publishing industry. Motion by Jourdan.

His work always aims to imbue meaning and thought into suited mediums such as prints, flyers, websites, branding etc, and also into emerging engagements
like products, experiential activations and technology. 

Design-brand thinking at the centre of his ethos and creative methods.
For Jourdan, the medium serves as a vehicle for the ‘value-laden idea’ or concept. In his opinion, media placements merely complement the creative ‘idea’.

In his teenage years he explored inner city cultures of skateboarding and graffiti-spray art. His creative energy lead him to complete, in 2015, a Bachelor Degree in Communication Design at Swinburne University in Melbourne.
