how can I help with your creative needs?

My name is Mike Samaras BA (Hons) and I’m a passionate creative and innovative individual. Strong minded, honest and very capable. I keep myself active by engaging in creative pursuits and I’m available on a freelance basis for many of them.

Primarily this covers Graphic Design and Video Post Production, but please contact me with your creative needs and I have little doubt I can accommodate them. I consider myself to be an original, imaginative and expressive creative. I feed this by harvesting inspiration from everything around me, acting like a cultural sponge.
