Kia Ora Melbourne,

Im an Art Director who has recently made the move across the Tasman. 

I Studied Creative advertising at Media Design School and was hired by TBWA\NZ immediately after graduating.

Over the last three years at TBWA I’ve sharpened my craft, worked with talented teams, and created work I’m proud of. 

Now I’m ready for the next chapter, brining that experience and energy to Australia’s advertising industry. 

If you’re looking for an Art Director, or wanting to catch up for a coffee and a chat, I would love to connect.

“He has grown into an excellent young Art Director. His confidence in his ideas and craft has grown exponentially. Of all the many qualities I could list, his constant curiosity to learn, his humility and kindness, and his sometimes well-hidden but sharp sense of humour are the ones I’ve come to appreciate the most.“ 

- Shane Bradnick CCO TBWA\NZ 

“He approaches his work with genuine passion and a strong sense of integrity, and he takes pride
in producing thoughtful, high-quality creative outcomes.” 

- Mick Stalker Creative Director TBWA\NZ
