A LITTLE BIT About ME

For the past fifteen years I have established a reputation as an advocate for clients and agencies, as a pioneer who considers solutions that are alternatives to just commericals and websites.

I have done so by attaining considerable understanding of advertising & media, having overseen countless projects from ideation, pitch, production and execution. I demonstrate creative flair, sound editorial judgment, and have an in-depth knowledge of the production and creative processes having worked closely with both studio and client.

I am highly motivated to work as part of a collaborative team, to manage, implement and deliver the kind of projects that provide successful, extraordinary user experiences.

My work is grounded in a solid technical and practical framework, including continued post-graduate studies in a Masters of Consumer Decision and Behaviour and the Foundations of Marketing Theory in Media.

I have a strong passion for advertising and I continually strive to understand and educate myself in any future opportunities.

Of all the things I’ve done, the most vital is coordinating the talents of those who work for us and pointing them towards a certain goal.
