Hey there. I'm Josh West, a brand and multimedia specialist

Branding, photographing, filming, animating, wordsmithing and strategising since 2009

Whether behind a lens, a laptop, a notepad or a whiteboard, my thoughtful approach combines fresh ideas with qualified design expertise. The result? Projects that captivate, illuminate, and motivate.

For over 15 years, I've worked as an in-house creative, agency professional, and freelance collaborator teaming up with start-ups, nonprofits and global institutions.

Curriculum vitae

Branding + design

An identity is more than a Canva frame – it’s what sets you apart. Curated colours, fonts and imagery engage audiences away from cookie-cutter templates.

Photography + film

From practitioner interviews to event archives, food styling to headshots, narrative-driven visuals have the power to communicate more than words alone.

Content creation

I’m a storyteller with a talent for finding the soul of shared experiences, co-authoring Lonely Planet guidebooks and partnering with Visit Korea and Tourism SA.

Animation

I turn static thoughts into moving stories. Through dynamic infographics and quirky characters, animation adds a spark for the heart, bringing concepts to life.

Socials

I work closely with brands to transform fresh ideas and long-form content into scroll-stopping stories that resonate, leaving an impression long after the swipe.

Content strategy

A great content strategy doesn’t flood the feed; it builds on purposeful, authentic content that earns trust over time and keeps your audience coming back.

Managing Director, Argon Design

Argon Design recruited Josh as a recent graduate in 2010, and he instantly added enthusiasm and creativity to our founding two-man team. Since these humble beginnings, the business grew to ten employees; Josh's adaptable nature, productive output and tireless work ethic played a substantial role in this expansion.

He began his Argon career as a Junior Design Coordinator but quickly advanced to the company's Senior Designer, then Studio Manager. As one of the team's original members, Josh's involvement in lead generation, business development meetings and SEO-focused blogging, on top of his design versatility, helped Argon create a solid foundation for future developments. Over his six and a half years at the company, Josh continually impressed, whether in a creative capacity or through his management of multi-layered projects.

Managing Director, Eventful Projects

I first connected with Josh in 2013 when he developed the Eventful Projects identity as the Senior Designer at Argon Design. We have since collaborated on multiple projects, including creating supplementary brands, event collateral and, most recently, archiving and showcasing Eventful Projects functions as a photographer/videographer. Throughout every project, Josh has continually provided creativity and ingenuity that complement his in-depth industry knowledge.

Publisher, City Brief

Josh helped establish the very first City Brief edition in 2015 and has consequently contributed to every publication since. I came to Argon Design with a concept for a city guide; not only did Josh bring that idea to life, but he also fine-tuned the functionality and usability of the vision. His deft eye for minimalism and delicate detail have been critical in forming City Brief's communication-centric identity. As the publication continues to evolve, I know I can rely on Josh's intimate knowledge of the brand and creative consultancy as we expand into new locations.
