I am open to opportunities at creative agencies, production cos., or startups where my egoless approach, effective presentation skills, and dedication to craft can help manifest great ideas and results on time and on budget for businesses and brands that want to get noticed.

Founder

How I pushed joy: By launching a superannuation company that helped people better understand the value of their money, have more of it, and do more with it so they can enjoy a higher quality of life, make a positive impact on the world, and create the future they want.

Zuper was the first values aligned neo-wealth platform in Australia. Built by breaking industry norms to deliver innovative investments and easy to use tech packaged in a great brand with an approachable tone of voice. It was acquired in 2020 and merged with OneSuper in 2021.

Founder, Chief Creative Officer

Freeform Asia Pacific (Acquired)

How I pushed joy: By opening an independent outpost of the UK agency in Australia and doing award-winning creative work for a roster of top-tier clients within the FMCG, tourism, media, entertainment, alcohol, youth, tech, and fashion categories.

The biggest surprise starting an ad agency was how much I didn’t know about business, collaborating with co-founders, and the industry I’d been working in for years. Setting up Freeform was a rewarding learning curve that peaked when it was sold to AJF Partnership.

Co-Founder, Creative Director

TBWA

How I pushed joy: By elevating the quality of work for our clients to the extent it got recognised at an international level which led to the Sydney office gaining access to global briefs. And by mentoring junior talent, some of whom returned years later to run the place.

TBWA is where I learned to work “Australian” and adapt my own methodologies, Yankee enthusiasm and fiery ambition to culturally match my peers while working with agency Founder, Neil Lawrence, to create award-winning work for Apple, Playstation, Qantas and more.

Group Creative Director

Bartle Bogle Hegarty (BBH)

How I pushed joy: By building fame for our clients and for ourselves. By learning to never underestimate the power of a good idea, especially one that's strategically bulletproof. And by listening to people with different perspectives to help transform good ideas into great.

BBH is where I formed many of the beliefs and principles that guide my approach to creative work still to this day. John Hegarty once told me “the decisions you make about your business when you start it will affect it forever.” And he was right.
