Lifelong creative, currently in advertising.
During my time in the creative seat, I’ve made music out of bean grinders and coffee cups, created a way for a chocolate brand to respond to racism and rebranded a pharmacy as a beauty destination. I've turned rural Australian towns into driver rest stops to fight fatigue, shut down scalpers selling chocolate on eBay for exorbitant prices and penned a list of things more likely to kill you than the AstraZeneca vaccine—that ironically went viral.
My work has been recognised and awarded over 85 times locally and internationally, including a Gold and a Bronze at Cannes Lions ‘22 for AAMI Rest Towns.
In my professional life, I've formulated and led winning pitches, mentored students at my old stomping ground and tutored the next generation of Australian creatives through AWARD School. Outside of work, I recently said ‘I do’ and put the finishing touches on my first home.
