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.
