Account Executive

I spent over 15 years working in marketing with, and for, some of the most creative and iconic brands all around the world.

But a few years ago, something changed.

It was all seemingly successful on paper, but inside I had become disconnected - from my work, and from myself. 

I had a deep and growing sense that I was here for more. 

Following my curiosity, I began an experiential dive into breathwork which quickly transformed my state of mind.

Through the process, it became clear that what energizes me most life is creativity and wellbeing (of both the human and planetary kind).

Seemingly separate worlds but I figured there had to be an overlap. Thankfully, the more I explored, the more I learned there was. 

There’s a deep connection between our internal state of consciousness, our ability to create, and our relationship with the natural world around us. 

It’s a big beautiful journey that starts inside our own mind. 

As a certified Flow State Facilitator and Breathwork Facilitator, today I offer transformative experiences and programs that teach teams how to access altered and optimal states of consciousness for creativity, wellbeing and performance.

Creative Director

Highlights include:

- Reimagining Soul Asylum's "Runaway Train" video for the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. We used geolocation to transform a music video into a sophisticated tool to help find missing children in local communities. Discovering that we'd found someone was quite probably my best day in advertising.

- Filming for Audi with Stan Lee, Lou Ferrigno (the original Hulk), and Jay and Silent Bob. A 90s kids dream cast.

- Hijacking the Wi-Fi at the 2016 New York International Auto Show, just to point out that the new Audi A4 is better than the BMW 328i.

Associate Creative Director

Created campaigns for Volkswagen, McDonald’s, Gatorade, Wrigley’s, Expedia, Telstra, Tourism Australia and many more. With a number of these being awarded, both for creativity and effectiveness.

During this time DDB Sydney won Campaign Brief Agency of the Year, AdNews Agency of the Year and Creative Magazine ‘Advertising Hotshop’ award.

Highlights include:

- Changing the name of McDonald’s to Macca’s, for Australia Day. Possibly the most Aussie thing I’ve ever done.

- A 3am shoot for Volkswagen with a cast of donkeys.

- Creating the Eat, Drink Chew branding for Wrigley’s. Which was adopted for global use.

- Writing the creative platform and tagline for Tourism Australia. The campaign is still running in domestic and international markets more than ten years later.
