When I was 9, I was set on becoming a genetic engineer. Not because I wanted to cure cancer or anything noble like that. I was convinced if I could get a gig editing genes, I’d be just one lab accident away from becoming Spiderman.
It wasn’t my greatest idea, but it wasn’t the last one either, and when I discovered advertising I found a way to take odd thoughts like this and turn them into something people actually cared about.
Since 2013, I've been making harebrained ideas for some of Australia's biggest brands, plus a few international ones too. I've had my work go viral in Morocco, given away a cubic ton of cheese, and added a few awards to the pool room in the process.
