About me

Self-confessed tech, type and ad nerd. Obsessed with craft. Head of Creative at Good Drinks Australia. Prior to GDA, I served as SVP Executive Creative Director, leading creative at MullenLowe New York, ECD and Head of Design at TBWAChiatDay New York and founded Design by Disruption, Chiat's first design agency.

Before New York, I spent seven years at Ogilvy in both Paris and New York offices working as Creative Director and Head of Design - building design & maker teams. Before joining the ad world I worked as a model-maker, creating prototypes for the toy industry.

I've worked on some of the world's most iconic brands and have won over 200 international industry awards including a Grand Prix at Cannes Lions and thirty pencils at D&AD. I've also had the honour of judging Clios, D&AD, New York Festivals and The Webbys.

Working as both creative and designer in the advertising industry has given me a unique perspective on how design can help solve advertising problems and visa-versa. Work I'm most proud of marries design thinking with creative thinking.
