When Iām not playing the role of Art Director in a creative agency, I experiment with creating art videos and mock ads. Some you can see, some have gone rogue and the rest are locked away for me to cringe at again in a decades time.

At a start-up creative agency, I gained extensive experience in a multifaceted role, frequently transitioning between responsibilities as an Art Director and Graphic Designer. During this time, I honed my illustration and character design skills while overseeing a social media campaign for Kidsafe Australia. This campaign was crucial in raising awareness among parents about household dangers that could lead to child death or serious injury during the Covid-19 lockdown. Additionally, I led a comprehensive 360-degree campaign for Judo Bank, which highlighted their commitment to supporting the business community during unprecedented times.

As an Art Director at Leo Burnett Australia, I collaborated with copywriter partner, Kevin Ma, on several high-impact 360-degree campaigns focussed on behaviour change across various industries. One of our standout projects was reshaping the car-buying experience for Honda Australia by utilizing the latest AI technology to develop a car that could sell itself. This innovative approach garnered significant attention due to the creative thinking around bringing AI to creative campaigns and the automotive industry.
In addition, I played a key role in creating an award-winning exhibition for Lifeblood at the National Gallery of Victoria. This campaign, characterized by its emotional and immersive experience, effectively influenced the public to increase blood donations. I also led the creative direction for Vitasoy's campaign, which successfully introduced consumers to the world of plant-based yogurt through a playful and engaging approach, encouraging them to explore new dietary options.
