Taking a blank page and turning it into something that leaves a dent in culture. Even if only a tiny one.

If there’s a single driver of my work, it’s the relentless pursuit of ideas that contribute, not pollute. Ideas people feel compelled to share, not skip.

Over the years, this ethos has found me being interviewed by Rolling Stone for programming a bot that generates celebrity apologies, circumventing Facebook’s nudity algorithm using 80 pairs of water-coloured boobs, creating memes that people print onto placards at protests and rallies, importing a giant-armed German arm wrestler to destroy Karl Stefanovic on live television, rigging an election to stop boomers from voting, convincing the advertising industry to stop posting anonymous hate by bribing them with awards, and most recently, creating a series of ‘anti-tourism’ postcards that now sit in the Melbourne Museum and State Library of Victoria.

It’s led me to being a creative partner at an indie agency, during which it nearly doubled its staff size and client roster, taking up the position of State Head of AWARD School after having 5 students place in the top 10 as tutor (including 1st and 2nd), lecturing at Copy School and mentoring RMIT students on their capstone projects.

And right now, for a limited time only, I’m an unrestricted free agent. 

So, if you call in the next 15 minutes, together, we could fool tradies with a prototype chainsaw from the future, create an insane magician and shoot him in the face with a cannon or get fashion models to educate young Australians on the signs of stroke via intrigue and subterfuge.

If any of the above sounds like fun, drop me a line. I’d love to work on a brief with you.
