Hi, my name is Michael and I’m a graphic designer and creative director here at Done Digital, a digital marketing agency based in Brisbane, Australia.

My journey in the professional sphere has seen me accrue over six years of experience in graphic design, with a particular focus on Out-of-home (OOH) and social media advertising. I have honed my skills with various tools such as CorelDraw, Adobe Photoshop, Lightroom, and Canva. Furthermore, I have also spent a year working as a Virtual Assistant for a distinguished real estate company located in Western Australia.

My passion for Graphic Design was kindled during my college years when I was introduced to the subject of “Desktop Publishing” in my first year. The magic of transforming creative ideas into visual reality through CorelDRAW X3 mesmerised me. The class quickly became my favourite, and I cherished every moment of it. A profound piece of wisdom shared by our instructor still resonates with me:

“With this software, there is no right or wrong, and your imagination is your only limit”

Outside of work, I like to indulge in varied interests to maintain a balance in my life. I find myself drawn to reviews of potential PC purchases, losing myself in a good Netflix series or a captivating video game. On quieter days, I love to spend time with my dogs or go on exploration trips on my mountain bike. Nothing beats discovering new, local coffee shops or finding places that serve scrumptious food to replenish the calories spent during my biking adventures.

A memorable episode of my career journey was the day I received a reply from a gentleman named David when applying for a job with Done Digital. He proposed a weekend meeting and I thought “Okay, this is scary, are they working during weekends?”. But I ultimately decided to accept, spurred by the need to replenish my pets’ food supplies. In retrospect, I am glad I took that decision. David Lee-Schneider turned out to be one of the most inspiring and patient people I have had the privilege to work with. Learning about his journey of singlehandedly managing multiple clients made me eager to join his team at Done Digital.

Being part of Done Digital has been a rewarding experience. I believed that I would gain much knowledge about the Digital Marketing industry, and my expectations have been surpassed. I’ve learnt the nuances of writing, optimising, and setting up blogs on WordPress, discovered unique techniques on Canva, and mastered the scheduling of posts on multiple platforms using third-party software. Furthermore, I’ve had the opportunity to create captivating captions for diverse types of posts.

Lately, I’ve had the fortune to work with a variety of businesses at Done Digital, ranging from dance studios, event spaces, and an agriculture consultant to electrical services. Each engagement has offered unique lessons and added to my growing expertise in the field.

We are always looking for new talent to join our team. If you are looking for a job or internship in the digital marketing world you can submit your expression of interest here to join the Done Digital family.
