My professional journey encompasses roles in small design studios to prominent international branding agencies, where I've worn hats as a designer, art director, creative director, and photographer. In addition to agency experience, I have extensive experience in-house, overseeing the development and management of design teams and art departments.

Presently, I serve as the Creative Director at Red Antler, a leading brand and design agency in New York. In this role, I lead a team of creatives, inspiring innovative and impactful solutions that redefine categories and enhance people's lives. My responsibilities extend to daily operational management, fostering a positive team environment, and ensuring the high quality of creative output. As a hands-on leader, I directly supervise designers, providing support, coaching, and mentorship for their professional growth.

Originally from Australia, I've traded the sunburnt landscapes for the concrete jungle. Beyond work I pursue photography, seeking to capture images that resonate with me and others. I swap my Levis for lycra on long-distance bike rides and at home it’s usually Youtube shows on cabin renovations and architecture.

The work shown on my site includes personal and professional projects. All professional projects were created in collaboration with a range of talented designers, writers, strategists, animators and industrial designers.
