Joel Young

I have always been a creative person. Encouraged at home since I was little to follow my passion and explore my love of making things. I remember filling up loads of drawing books when I was younger, and then trying to design a monorail system when I was in my early teens; it was more about the designs and the thrill of creating something new and cool! To this day I continue to indulge my artistic desires having made it my daily bread and butter!
Majoring in art and predominantly creative based subjects throughout my senior high school years I went on to study Art and Design with a Diploma in Electronic Design and Interactive Media and Design at VUT in Melbourne, followed by a number of shorter courses to further develop my illustrative skills.
I now have over 12 years of industry experience working for various establishments including a publishing house, a software company, a printing firm and a boutique design & multimedia agency. Now I run IndustryX, my own freelance design and creative services studio.
Illustration is my passion but I’m pretty damn good at developing logos and designing sharp looking print material. Ill have a go at anything that’s creatively based but I know when to hand over to the experts to get the best result!
I’m not always at my desk and I don’t always have a pencil or a mouse in my hand, I try to be a machine but I do like to do things outside of work! Surfing and skating are longtime passions that have been a big influence on my soul and my work. I love my Xbox and I like to kill ninjas and drive fast cars at high speeds!
I think I’m pretty easy to get along with and down to earth, and I have heard other people might have said this also but I cant confirm this!
Please feel free to contact me with questions you may have.
I’m always looking for new projects, ‘feed the beast’ and all that sort of stuff!
