My Loop
About Me
Ideas are my craft and my passion. In the past these ideas have taken the form of advertising campaigns, graphic design, magazine editorial, club nights, radio shows, music videos, branded content and brand strategy.
Some of these ideas have been internationally awarded, and featured in publications around the world. Others (usually the most interesting ones) never made it past the concept stage.
Right now I’m interested in conceiving and executing ideas via content, experiences, creative strategy and emerging media platforms in order to tell a story, innovate and create a positive impact, whether it’s to benefit a brand or the broader community. Ideally for both.
I’m currently working on a freelance basis, however I'm always stoked to hear about opportunities of all kinds from anywhere in the world, and I'm definitely open to travel, so drop me a line if you think we’d get along. (I’m sure we will).
