I'm a filmmaker from Melbourne specialising in cinematic documentaries. I've worked on many things – documentaries, TV shows, campaign creative direction, projection installations, motion graphics, print design and photography. I also assembled an Ikea bookshelf the other week and it's mostly straight, but given how long it took I'd suggest you only get in touch if you need one of the other things.
THINGS I DO.
Film & Video
I've mostly worked in video of late directing a mix of documentaries and branded content. I enjoy all levels of production– from directing large crews to nimble documentary set ups. I’m very experienced working in unique situations having made films in Uganda, Ethiopia, Niger, Cameroon, Papua New Guinea and Timor-Leste.
Campaign Creative Direction
I’ve worked at a variety of agencies pitching and executing multi-platform campaigns as a creative director & art director. Over the last few years I've delivered full scale campaigns working solo for clients like: The Red Cross, Nike and Bendigo Bank..
Art Direction & Design
My original training was in digital design, and a love of typography and good aesthetics still permeates everything I work on today. I still take on design campaign work including print and digital executions.
