I specialize in broadcast TV commercials, social media content, brand films, and motion graphics. I’ve collaborated with many of New Zealand’s and Australia’s leading agencies, delivering polished, on-brand creative work across the full Adobe Creative Suite. For seven years I co-directed YeaBoy Ltd, a post-production studio where I oversaw output, led client relationships, and managed junior creatives from brief through to final delivery. Now freelancing from the Gold Coast, I work with Australian and NZ agencies and bring the same high standard to every project — whether it’s a 30-second TVC or a multi-platform social campaign.
