Travis grew up in country Victoria (Dimboola) Australia, where he developed a fascination with skateboard, graffiti and surfwear design and illustration.

After graduating from the University of Ballarat with a design/multimedia degree, he started work with a studio in Melbourne as a print/interactive designer.

In 2000 Travis decided to move back to Ballarat and commute to Melbourne each day on public transport. To pass the time, he started sketching ideas in journals, continuously refining ideas and experimenting with styles. After filling numerous journals Travis started submitting work to clothing labels for their consideration.

Over the last ten years Travis has gained experience in all areas of design ranging from print, interactive to animation and created commissioned works for numerous clothing labels and design agencies, culminating in him speaking at the 2007 AGIdeas Design Conference.

Currently, Travis works as an illustrator/freelence designer and lectures sessionally at the University of Ballarat.
