Creative Director & Art Director
I'm an award-winning Creative Director and Art Director with 25+ years of international experience at some of the world's most iconic publications: Sports Illustrated (TIME Inc.), Cosmopolitan and Redbook (HEARST), SHE and NEXT Magazine (ACP/Bauer) and Cuisine (Fairfax). I also helped implement Brand Identity Guidelines across all Hearst International titles.
My career has taken me from Sydney to New York to Auckland, working with world-class photographers, stylists, editors and talent, directing cover shoots, redesigning major titles, and building creative departments from the ground up.
Back in New Zealand, I now bring that same level of thinking to local businesses, offering web design, AEO & SEO, brand strategy, photography, creative direction, and creative consulting for clients who want to look as good as they actually are.
