Highly effective, highly creative retail communication.
I can also help with animation, explainer videos, illustration and photography.

I first started working as an art director in Perth a very long time ago. Later there was a stint in London and another back in Perth before I eventually found myself settling in Melbourne. Here I've worked as a Creative Director and then ECD.

​

I’ve worked on everything from power companies to power tools to fine single malt whisky. One of my longest running projects went for 24 years: I helped build the Bunnings Warehouse brand from two stores into a household name. And over the course I learnt a lot about what works when it comes to retail advertising and communication.

​

I’m also a grownup. For me it's all about solving the client's problem and getting the result that ticks everyone’s boxes. A solution that is both highly effective and takes full advantage of the creative opportunities. Partly that comes from having been a partner in the Melbourne office of The Brand Agency. I understand the business of advertising, not just the creative side.

​

‘Hands-on’ is definitely a label that fits. I enjoy the whole process, whether it be crafting and offering recommendations at C Suite level, briefing, concept work, client presentation or production. And I bring to the table my experience and knowledge of how one of the most successful retail brands in Australia was built and honed.

​

I’m happy to tackle the task alone or teamed with a copywriter, or to supervise teams on larger projects.
And since striking out on my own I've been enjoying a wider scope of work, getting into animated content development, writing and animating explainer videos, drawing storyboards and even taking a few photographs when clients ask for it.

​

I look forward to hearing from you soon.
