A man with dark hair and a beard, wearing a black shirt, sitting with one leg crossed over the other in front of colorful abstract wall art.

Ah look. a bio.

Not to be boring but lemme start at the beginning. It all started in a tiny rural town tucked away in the depths of southern New Zealand. In a valiant attempt to appear as heterosexual as possible, I spent my formative years doing musical theatre, painting, and attending pony club. Despite all that, I eventually fled rural life in pursuit of something bigger - making ads.

Throughout my career, I’ve worked across award-winning campaigns for some of Australasia’s most well-known brands. My creative fingers have found their way into all sorts of pies - from brand campaigns and digital experiences to activations, behaviour-change work, illustration, product design, photography, and writing.

My other passion is as a working artist, but theres a different website for that.

There’s nothing that i enjoy more in this life than talking about myself so if you want to chat more, feel free to slide into those DM’s.
