I’m a writer and Creative Director from New Zealand, now living in Los Angeles.

I’m into big creative swings, obsessive craft, and ideas that get people talking. 

At Mother, I work on Meta, Sonic, and lots and lots of pitches.

Over the past decade, I’ve worked across agencies and in-house teams, most recently at Expedia, where I lead our in-house creative studio creating everything from TV to social to OOH.

I believe in being kind, having fun, and making things happen.
