Hi.
I am a creative director/art director located on the beautiful west coast of New Zealand.
I have won many industry awards over my 25 year career. Including golds at Cannes, D&AD, Axis and Spikes Asia, as well as a Grand Axis, a Grand Effie, a Webby, and a Mashie - are they still even a thing?
A craft heavyweight, I have been recognised for my art direction many times, and somewhere in-between ads, meetings about ads and mum-life, I further channel that love of craft into my textile label, BESS.
I’ve worked across a number of markets, including Australia, New Zealand, the UK and Ireland. And have led creative on a wide range of clients, including entertainment brands like SKY, NEON and HBO, banks, insurance companies, telcos, charities like The Women's Refuge, drink & beverage brands across Lion and Carlton United Breweries as well as the Coca-Cola portfolio, fashion, retail and luxury department stores, plus Government departments such as Aboriginal Victoria, TAC, and NZTA.
I have also had the pleasure of judging multiple times at Axis and AWARD and have been featured in spotlight editorials in various industry platforms.
