I live in an apartment nestled in New Farm, Brisbane with my beautiful wife, Jane, and work as a designer for DSR Branding. I’d consider myself to be a curious, empathetic and creative person who strives to bring this approach to both work and life.

Instead of my life’s story, here are seven facts about me.

Fact 1
The famous Amercian jazz pianist and composer Bill Evans is consistantly at the top of my Spotify Wrapped each year.

Fact 2
The number of drinks I’d need to give a PowerPoint presentation in front of a thousand people about a topic I know nothing about: Zero.
Fact 3
If I got the chance to go on Hard Quiz, the specialist topic I would choose is the T.V. sitcom Frasier
Fact 4
My vice is video games. More specifically any Third-Person Action-Adventure game.
Fact 5
In the Carrigan family, every male born in Australia inherits the middle name 'James,' paying homage to the first Carrigan who arrived in the country. So, branding is literally my middle name.
Fact 6
I catch up with my Dad every Tuesday night at five o’clock after work, without fail, for a Grill’d Superpower Salad, and a coffee and choc chip cookie from Death Before Defcaf.

Fact 7
I have an alarm set for 4:30am each morning so I can do an 1hr of exercise. Which is usually undertaken with mates.
