Bio

I work as Group Executive Creative Director at Colenso BBDO in Auckland, New Zealand. I’ve been with the BBDO network in Auckland and New York for 11 years.

I graduated a furniture design degree just as the Internet was hitting its stride. So, noticing the similarities of furniture design and user experience design, I jumped in. Since then, I’ve spent over twenty years working at the intersection of digital and brand.

It’s seen me do brand work at some of the world's best digital agencies, innovation at some of the world’s best brand agencies, and help grow some of the world’s best multidisciplinary agencies.

I’ve spoken on innovation for D&AD and Google, I’ve judged at D&AD, the Effies, and AWARD across digital, innovation and film, and received over a hundred international awards at shows from Cannes Lions and D&AD, to the Webbys.

I’m continually excited by change. I love making technology more human. And making humans feel something.
