I’m an Art Director, Designer & Creative Director with a keen eye for photography, iambic pentameter and pastel colours. Otherwise, I’m tall and handsom(ish) with a size 11 shoe that taps to the rhythm of Murakami, Coetzee and Lennon.
With eighteen years' experience in the advertising industry I’ve worked at local hot shops and international networks in both South Africa and Canada. Working at good agencies with great people has also allowed me to pick up an award or two.
Although obsessed with design and art direction I have lately turned to further obsessions with photography and writing, and I have written a feature-length screenplay, a couple of short films as well as a TV series, all of which I am currently trying to get produced for a screen near you.
In the meantime, if you'd like to read some words I've written about some moving pictures I've watched with a critical eye, click here.
