Rich Wilson
I'm an Auckland based Product Designer, DJ and producer. I love music and always have, ever since I discovered my dads reel to reel and vinyl collection at an early age. As so many others, I used to whip the record back and forth at my favourite breakdown moments.
Equal to my love for music is my love of design, completing my BDES with honours in Communication Design at Massey University in Wellington. Since graduating in 2005 I have worked for a few great design houses
and currently work for Weka Online, who specialise in integrated eCommerce websites.
I'm super keen to work with you so give me a call or email. Do it!
