    Where Creative Direction Meets Technical Execution

    Through my experience, I'm able to bring a creative director's perspective to concept, storytelling and experience design, while operating comfortably inside the technical detail that makes large-scale delivery possible. From CAD and build plans through to staging, logistics, safety and live execution, I understand how ideas are constructed, costed and delivered in real-world environments.

    This crossover allows me to lead teams with clarity, challenge assumptions early, de-risk complex builds and ensure creative intent survives contact with reality - at scale, under pressure and in live environments.

    Industry recognition including Cannes Lions, Spikes Asia, Red Globes, APMA's, Australian Effies and Guinness World Records - recognising excellence in creative ambition, executional complexity and live delivery at scale.
