Creative with 15 years experience both in-house and agency side with a passion for big ideas. Small ideas are cool too.
My first home and current location is Sydney, Australia. My second home is Toronto, Canada, where I spent 3 years working and freezing. I was a designer for a while, then an Art Director, so Photoshop, InDesign and Illustrator are my inner circle, while Premiere Pro and After Effects are casual acquaintances. I was also solo for a while writing and art directing. Then I got an art director, so I was a writer. Now I’m solo again. But I don’t like labels. I do mobile, print, social, web, film, activations, earned, branding, typography, motion, video editing, copywriting, brand strategy... actually I'll find a way to do whatever needs doing. I even wrote an opinion piece about it.
What I look for in the work I do is an opportunity to create something new that has a good impact on the world and provokes people to see and think in a new way. Or just funny stuff.
When I’m not advertising, I’m having play picnics with my daughter Reilly and her monkey, and delivering hard hitting marketing journalism via Campaignful.
