I like to get my hands dirty.
 

I started in film, worked in some blockbusters, rolled many meters of cable, was a camera operator, filmed many horses running, moved to the other side of the world, went to film school, and accidentally became a teacher.
 

Travelled around Australia shooting documentaries, cooking shows, music videos, photographed products and people, TVCs and designed terrible artwork, travelled more, climbed an active volcano, published a book, ride a scooter for fun, had my stints at long-form photo documentaries, was awarded photojournalism awards, love to take photos of strangers in the street and ended up in advertising and being a corgi whisperer.
 

What a ride, life is strange and beautiful!
 

I have worked with iconic brands such as Woolworths, Hungry Jacks, Petbarn, Stockland, Amnesty International, Discovery Channel, Eurosport, ABC and In my parallel life, I direct music videos and develop short and long-term documentary photography projects that aim to serve social purposes. This has led me to work with NGOs and exhibit social documentary projects in several countries.

My work has been screened, exhibited, and awarded in various countries, and I have been recognised as one of Australia's emerging talents in photojournalism.
 
I am now the Creative Director at the Montu Group, where I lead a dedicated internal team in the creative development of healthcare brands that resonate with people and make a meaningful impact.

My passion lies in taking a holistic approach to creative development, ensuring that brands connect with people at every touchpoint.
 

On top of all that, I am a social media manager for Boy and Bae, the sassy corgis.
 

Let's get it!
