Commercial Creative communications gave me the opportunity to work on the development of many international brands; starting from my first advertising account P&O, later Christian Dior’s Poison launch, Malaysia Airlines, Radisson Hotels, Aprilia and Moto Guzzi motorcycles, Ayers Rock resort complex, KLM, Volvo, Renault,Norwegian Capricorn Line, leading to 14 years with with Sarina Bratton founder CEO of NCL and later Orion Expedition Cruises in my role as “cre-ative and brand custodian”. A company that has now been sold internationally.

My skills are commensurate with the types of projects I work on. IT savvy in enterprise architecture, web design and data base strategies and competent in Adobe CS6 creative suite enables me to have a hands on approach to creative and the execution of creative assets of graphic design, photography, video (food travel fashion) and advertising content in all forms of production across all media channels.

With a clear vision of database strategies I have the luxury of understanding how to applying creativity to digital channels.

What can I offer? Solutions to new challenges that are economically, environmentally and creatively engaging. A comfortable fit with my passions and belief system.

engaging, customer centric creative is everything ... the ability to do it is paramount.

In a world of saturated communications, complex push/pull social media and unclear big data ethics topped with 24/7 sound-bites, it’s understandable that a consumers exposure to thousands of messages per day* become cortex culled with only a few signals penetrating the frontal lobe.

However past successes are only foundations not answers.

For ten years I was an external new brand and product development consultant to Unilever as part of a new Unifoods team that engineered brands and products for the hospitality industry. The other side of my brain serviced more tangible endeavors...as founding CEO of an engineering R&D company (MST) researching sewage mining technologies, working with James Cook University. Leading to consulting projects with NSW Parks and Wildlife and environmental agencies on environmental issues and development of other technologies currently used up and down the seaboard of Australia.Industrial design was also a founding creative passion prior to embracing the dark side ( Advertising ). I had the honour of working/designing with the famous

There's a side to the Kimberley rarely seen - a side of breathtaking beauty

best accessed from the sea. Orion is Australia's first five-star expedition

cruise ship, her voyages offering magnificent waterfalls and flame-red land-

scapes: not just views, but experiences. Reminiscent of a private mega-yacht,

Orion's guests are few, just 106, attentively cared for by 65 crew. Share in our

expeditions, from here to the Great Barrier Reef and Antarctica, discovering

old worlds in a new level of luxury.

It is in our nature to explore!
