I grew up in a small town in New Zealand. Although we locals didn't considered it 'small' as we only needed to reach a population of 20,000 to gain city status and we were a few hundred off. They never came. Obviously we didn't market ourselves very well—if at all.
My dad worked at the local pulp and paper mill, my mother at the nearest dairy (corner shop). Let's just say I learnt at an early age what the difference was between a Holden and a Triumph and what brand of biscuits I wanted mum to bring home from the shop.
From not-so-small town to the big smoke's, I've worked in Wellington, London, Auckland and Sydney. Across a range of brands. From NZ Lotteries to Qantas. From pet brands to car brands. From anything to almost everything.
I’m a Creative Art Director who loves being around passionate people. A British Māori Kiwi who loves inclusivity. I love to craft whatever I touch and I love attention to detail. I can be serious, but I love making people smile—my family, my friends, the people I work with, strangers, and of course—the clients.
