My entry into advertising was certainly non linear. Before advertising I’d done many jobs, from floor-and-wall tiling to life insurance underwriting. This has given me an appreciation for the variety of human experience and an empathetic approach to every brief.
I’ve been working as an Art Director for 6 years at TBWA\Melbourne. My campaign experience spans automotive, banking and finance, health insurance, government, tourism, technology and not-for-profit sectors. My work has received recognition in major national and international awards, including D&AD and Cannes. In 2019, I was promoted to Creative Director alongside my copywriter, Rachel Blacklaws.
Doing what I do is enriching on many levels. Being paid to think, the potential to make strangers laugh, cry, be inspired, be heard, or maybe see the world differently, and having the opportunity to work with wonderfully talented and like-minded people are the things that keep me going.
