I was born in Australia. I played rugby, went to the beach, and earned a degree in architecture & industrial design. When I was 21, I started a rock’n’roll band and we needed posters, so I designed and printed some. Soon I was creating posters for touring bands and record labels. It was a natural progression to CD covers, ads and editorial design.

In 1996 I moved to New York and worked at a small design agency creating branded merchandise for entertainment and fashion clients including Marvel, Warner Brothers, Federated Department Stores and Playboy.

My advertising career began in 2000 at Bates Worldwide with integrated campaigns for Beefeater and Canadian Club. When the Pernod Ricard account went to Publicis in 2003, I went with it. At Publicis I created a pitch-winning campaign for the travel goods brand Tumi, then worked on a diverse range of clients including Buitoni, Hot Pockets, Garnier, Whirlpool, LensCrafters and Citi. My campaign for MiraLAX won the account for the agency in 2011 and my campaign for Hilton Hotels in 2013 consolidated the business at Publicis Kaplan Thaler. In 2014 I created the launch spot for Cadillac. The next year I created an award winning viral video for Similac. In 2019 I started freelancing at pharma agencies including FCB Health, McCann, Havas and Wunderman Thompson. Humancare offered me a staff role as a creative lead launching SOTYKTU (for plaque psoriasis) in 2022 and since then I’ve been exploring the creative potential of little red swimsuits and social media filters. I’ve also worked on several other pharma brands in the HCP and DTC space.

I live in New York City with my wife and son. On the weekends we play music together in a band we call the Family From Hell. I also like hats, poetry, films, and the crush and jumble of the city I now call home. It’s a long way from the beach.
