Silly and serious. That’s what I wrote on my Bumble profile and it works here too.

I’m an Aussie, now living in Austin, Texas, by way of London. I’ve spent the last 15 years making, sourcing, styling, scouting, researching, designing and art directing for countless commercials, music videos, events, films and TV programs.

My commercial clients have included AT&T, Nissan, Tic Tac, Fiat, Walgreens and Dell. I’ve also designed for musicians including Lily Allen, Kygo, the Subways, Spring King and Miranda Lambert.

I love creating spaces - building up layers of color, texture and objects that get right to the heart of who a character is or convey a palpable mood the minute you step inside. I love color, contrast and stylized design, but I equally enjoy the challenge of designing sets that settle comfortably into the background, quietly supporting the narrative and themes to let the story breathe.

Ambience is everything. I say that a lot. I’m always looking for the details that make a place what it is, feeling out the little touches that create that unnamable vibe. So on that note, I’m now on a quest in Austin to truly understand what makes a dive bar a dive bar and to find out why a dive bar feels SO different to British and Australian pubs (Edit: 5 years in, I think it has something to do with the Libertarian spirit).

Can’t wait to meet y’all along the way.
