About

Hi, my name is Brent Dayman. I'm currently working a Senior Web Designer at Komosion, in Melbourne, Australia. I love to learn - between devouring books I'm currently completing a Bachelor of Applied Science (IT).

Originally from a print design background - my passion for technology led me to web and multimedia design. During this time I have covered all the work stages of a wide variety of projects including the following.
