With more than 20 years of experience, Joe’s role is to push our design craft forward. A constant learner himself, he’s an advocate for best practice digital design, and is the proponent of our internal design system Springkit, a crucial tool that ensures top quality standard across the products we create. His interests include multi-brand design systems, typography, and bilingual interfaces.

Joe handles some of our biggest and trickiest projects, including as lead designer for the Massey University website. Other significant projects include websites for Immigration New Zealand and the Center for Digital Humanities at Princeton University.

Originally from Whakatū Nelson, Joe moved to Wellington to study design. He’s worked for companies across Aotearoa, and has lived in London and Amsterdam, where he created graphic, brand, and retail design as well as art direction for global brands such as Nike and Levi’s.

Along with experiencing Joe’s work online, you might have heard him on the radio (or at one of his gigs) as PocketLipps. He has a regular slot on Radioactive.fm, bringing you fresh tunes every month.
