About me

I'm a junior production designer and stylist recently moved to London. My work has been featured on prime-time television, MTV Australia, and shared online by Pedestrian.TV, one of Australia's most popular youth websites, and Triple-J, the youth subsidiary of Australia's BBC. I started as a screenwriter, and love to write - every spare minute of my day. Website + Instagram under construction.

  Give // CapreART DIRECTOR // A short clip for Capre, with an emphasis on the unusual and distressing; since it's a highly visual clip, a number of the icky sticky concepts came from yours truly.
• Tremelow // The CreasesPRODUCTION DESIGNER + SHOOT DIRECTOR // Up-and-comers The Creases asked me to recreate an old Ikea Italy advertisement with an unreal colour-punk twist. I set decorated, refurbished a retro egg-chair, styled the lads, and directed the shoot. Editing done elsewhere.

  Creepy Cool // The Jungle GiantsART DIRECTOR // A clever concept by director Michaela Holmes, for a flat-impact dollshouse style look. Clock the custom half-n-half furniture.

  Hands Off My Body // Ball Park MusicPRODUCTION DESIGNER // An intentionally off-kilter look into the grotesqueness of the human body. With some freedom, a number of my concepts (and hands) made it into the final clip. Catch those custom nails and the hand-made crochet guitar!
• Exactly How You Are // Ball Park MusicPRODUCTION DESIGNER // My first clip for Australian music fixtures Ball Park Music. An homage to The Smashing Pumpkins' 1979, it bleeds authentic Australiana with an unplaceably nostalgic feeling of being young, free, and dumb.
• Kooky Eyes // The Jungle GiantsART DIRECTOR // A cartoony glamous diva, what's more fun? My brief was 90's glam for a 70's model - big hair, diamantes, fur, and no shame. Apart from the vintage props I sourced, and the custome pieces built, I also secured the luxury apartment used. Unfortunately I was unable to be on-set for most of this clip.
