Career Summary

I bring to the role of creative producer & director, over 15-years experience running boutique production studios in Melbourne, creating high-end content for brands, agencies, media platforms and government departments. Having completed a Bachelor of Film & Television at Victorian College of the Arts, I headed up the video production team for the Melbourne Fashion Festival. To meet an increasing demand for content from the festival’s participating labels and sponsors, I launched Snapper Screen Productions Pty Ltd in 2004 (t/a Good Cop Bad Cop from 2015). I’ve since been able to evolve as both a creative producer and a director in equal measure. I’ve developed the business acumen required to foster lasting relationships with some of Australia’s premium brands, and combine it with extensive hands on experience crafting engaging brand entertainment. I’m particularly interested in working with agencies, brands and media platforms to discover and create stories that allow them to reach new audiences in innovative ways.
