About me

I've been working as part of a creative team in advertising for 7 years. This partnership has taken me through 5 different agencies, from Perth to Sydney and now to Tokyo. My passion and expertise lie in digital, experiential and integrated creative thinking.

With a background in design, a passionate writer and techie, I consider myself a multidisciplinary creative who takes a hands on approach to every job. I'm accustomed to to designing, writing and building ideas together with my creative partner Tim.

Throughout my advertising career I've worked across BIG W, Toyota, Cadbury, OPSM, Sony, the Australian Defence Force, PayPal, eBay, Bankwest, St.George, Lexus and the Reckitt Benckiser and Sanofi client portfolios.

As part of a senior integrated creative team we've pitched for new business, won new business, awards and cemented ourselves as a pioneering, non-traditional creative hit team everywhere we’ve worked.

With extensive experience in advertising, digital & creative leadership and client relationships my driving force is an insatiable passion for innovative ideas and meaningful communications.
