Experience

From paint to pixel
From a kid learning his trade in a small New Zealand town to a Creative Director in one of the world's largest cities. The journey maketh the man.

My creative journey has allowed me to travel the world working with some incredible brands, amazing agencies and exceptionally talented individuals.

Best of all the journey is forever evolving. Where I have come from has provided the foundations of where I am today but only serves to inspire where I am heading tomorrow. Проведите время увлекательно и с азартом, сыграв в игровые автоматы бесплатно на нашем сайте, не откладывая в долгий ящик
