Over the ten years I’ve been part of the digital industry I’ve worn many hats. From my first role of designing animated gif banner ads and being a web designer for a news publisher, to learning cold fusion code and understanding the world of load balancing and cache flow boxes to my later roles in the advertising world working with creatives, planners, production teams and the occasional difficult client I’ve seen a lot that’s out there. These days I’ve settled happily into the job of a producer, a role where I can be part of a team delivering creative projects.
I’ve spent most of my career in New Zealand and have since moved to Singapore. You can check out my resume or look at some of the projects I’ve worked on in my portfolio on this site and you can get in touch with me via linkedin.
Aside from hosting my portfolio and resume this site is a way for me to collate and share cool or useful links in a way that is more visual than delicious.

May 2009 – Present
On a short term contract for TBWA / Tequila I was initially contracted to assist in securing a prospective new client. My role consisted of project managing speculative projects and pitches. In the speculative projects I was project managing internal resources as well as coordinating responses from a media company and a publisher while working closely with a Freelance Strategist. Since securing the client my role has extended to managing their projects and assisting on other client projects as required. I’ve also assisted in creating process documentation and process audits for the agency.
