Originally from NZ I have over three decades of experience exploring how art and design shape the way people connect with brands. My work has taken me across continents, evolving identities, building brands from the ground up and collaborating with some of the industry’s best creative minds to craft campaign identities and visual systems that are cohesive and enduring.

I’ve led multidisciplinary teams and partnered with incredible clients to create work that resonates and lasts. Most recently, I spent more than a decade as Executive Design Director at VML, following nine years as Head of Design at Saatchi & Saatchi New York, where we helped win the Cannes Lions Agency of the Year. For me, design is about simple, powerful ideas executed with exceptional craft creating unique, culturally relevant visual identities.
