Hello.
I’m a Creative Director.
I love a lot of things about my job.
I love ideas. I love selling them in to people and clients.
I love making things and making those things be loved by people who also love things.
I love seeing something I’ve made in the cinema and hearing someone behind me say “I fucking hate this ad”.
I love mentoring and helping younger idea generators and creators to grow.
I love my queer community. I love DE&I and helping to change the face of the industry and move it forward with fresh energy.
I love my New Zealand home. I love my adopted home in London. I love that my creative experience stretches between the two and I love everything I’ve experienced in the lands in between.
I love everything in my book. Some more groundbreaking than others, but all of them tell a story.
I hope you love it too.
