Jay loves serving others! He is the owner of Green Valley Digital. Jay has been in this industry for over 20 years. When you work with us, you work directly with Jay and the team. We do NOT palm you off to an inexperienced junior employee.

Amongst things, he believes in achieving THE best results for our clients, being reliable, integrity, trustworthy, togetherness, unity, there is no ‘i’ in ‘team’, connection, community, caring, attentiveness, giving back, paying it forward, having the right people in your corner, never stopping learning, skill collecting and being useful.

Jay is a website and SEO specialist. Plus he is a graphic designer and digital marketing all-rounder.

He is also a farmer’s son, a handy person and a maker of things. He was also an avid sportsperson (more so when he was younger), . You can find his personal website here (www.jaydaniellsweb.com.au) where he mainly blogs about some of the projects he does in his spare time.

During his career he has worked on many large, medium and small projects as a project manager, lead designer, consultant, brand developer, content writer, SEO provider, artist and digital marketer (and more).

In Jay’s own words, “We’re very lucky to live in Australia. Let’s utilise the many opportunities this country provides us and achieve your goals.”

He started in the industry in 2002 when he used to work for a Film and TV Creative Media Facility at Roma Street in Brisbane. Prior to that he worked as a junior sign-writer (apprentice), a newspaper ads designer, an architectural model makers assistant and a bunch of other things.

Jay also creates graphic art, illustrations, surfboard art, skateboard art, t-shirt art, motorbike helmet art, etc (pretty much anything). He also accepts commission projects.

He grew up on a farm near the small Queensland town of Gayndah. He moved to Brisbane when he was 17 (in 1997) and moved back to regional Queensland in 2008. He travels to clients as needed. He’ll also jump on a plane if required.

Currently, Jay is in his early/mid 40’s. His LinkedIn profile is here.
