A fan-merch marketplace built from nothing: name, identity system, storefront, community launch and the paid social that fed it.
I make things happen — a campaign, a film, a product. Twenty years of it, in marketing, project management and content creation, across Melbourne, Sydney, London, South America and Los Angeles.
An audience has to be found, the content has to be made, and increasingly the thing it lives inside has to be built. I have run all three ends — brand campaigns, film and television production, and shipping software products.
Brand strategy through finished asset: what to say, who to say it to, and the content that makes them care.
Feature film, television and short-form — financed, scheduled, shot, cut and delivered. On budget, on date.
Native apps and web platforms taken from idea to store listing — the same producing discipline, applied to software.
Not a list of adjectives — the actual work, and what my hands were on in each one.
Identity and positioning built from zero, then the campaign creative that carries it — art direction, copy and assets cut for Meta and Google Ads.

A fan-merch marketplace built from nothing: name, identity system, storefront, community launch and the paid social that fed it.

Problem-first ad concepts aimed at a specific trader mistake — the kind of creative that earns a click without a discount code.

I trained as a producer at the Victorian College of the Arts and as a writer at the University of South Australia, then spent two decades moving between worlds that usually stay separate: short-form brand content, long-form narrative, and — more recently — software.
That means a client gets a producer who can hold a campaign of social cutdowns, a TVC and a brand film in one schedule. A financier gets a producer who has closed studio deals, reported to government funding bodies and returned money to equity investors. And a product team gets someone who has actually shipped.

Campaign, commercial, music video, television, feature or product — send me the brief, the script or the problem, and I’ll tell you honestly what it takes.
