About me

Award-winning Executive Creative Director & Chief Creative Officer of agencies in New York, Singapore, and Bangkok.

Formerly - FCB New York (EVP/ECD) / Publicis Singapore (ECD) / Bannistar Singapore & Tokyo (ECD) / Vivaldi Bangkok (CCO)

I started my career in Sydney, called New York City home for 11 years, plus multiple stints in Singapore and most recently Bangkok.
Throughout my global creative career, I have had the pleasure of working on many of the world's most recognized brands.

Awards include - Cannes, One Show, New York Festivals, London Internationals, Communication Arts, AWARD (Australia), Folio, Mobius, Clio, and more.

Before stumbling haphazardly into an advertising career at the age of 25, I was a punk rock bass player, a roadie, a concert lighting designer and operator, a sound engineer, a kitchen hand, a clothing brand owner and designer, a courier, and a sales rep in the music business.

My creative passions stretch beyond the commercial and brand realm - I am also a writer, photographer, video director, artist, and yes...still a bass player.

It's been a storied adventure so far, Hunter S. Thompson best summed up my approach to life. - "Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Wow! What a Ride!"
