About 
 



I am a multi-disciplinary creative based in Sydney: specialising in branding, UI/UX design, motion graphics and art direction. You can find me currently working as the Head of Design at Today the Brave.

Previously I was full-time and freelancing with various individual clients and agencies including as the Visual Design Director at R/GA, Landor Associates and Wunderman Thompson.

Passionate about the ability of design to transform business and culture, I love building and leading loyal teams, fostering meaningful client relationships and working across a diverse range of industries.

My work has been recognized and featured by multiple publications including: Forbes, Adweek, Creativeboom, Mumbrella, Under Consideration: BrandNew, The Brand Identity, Packaging of the World, The Dieline, BandT, The Stable and The Drum. 

Having been a guest speaker, mentor and panelist at various universities, I’m incredibly passionate about learning from, and mentoring the next generation of creatives- encouraging an ideas-first, craft second mentality.
