The Story
So Far...

Early Curiosity

My interest in media began during the early days of YouTube. DSL internet, the family computer, and a library of tutorials that was exploding by the week. I convinced some friends to help make action-comedy shorts while I figured out video editing and visual effects. The price of cameras was coming down. The potential was obvious.

Lights, Sound & Real Stages

I joined Pimlico State High School's Performing Arts Lights & Sound, running lighting and sound for community theatre and variety shows, and picking up work experience at the Townsville Civic Theatre and Wild Gravity. By then I'd learned enough about audio to understand how little I actually knew.

A search online led me to Townsville Creative Technologies College. I enrolled in Technical Production and was offered industry experience in sports broadcasting on behalf of Townsville Fire WNBL. It was around this time I started working professionally as a freelance motion graphics artist for TV and cinema commercials.

Choosing My Path

By graduation, my work had already reached TV, cinemas, theatres, sports stadiums, and magazines. University was the expected next step. I was already earning an income and learning directly from real-world projects. Deadlines, client feedback, and adapting to new technology provided a faster and more relevant education. I kept building on the job.

Connecting the Dots

At North Queensland Audio Visual I stepped into the role of Marketing Manager, creating content, developing advertising strategies, and communicating the capabilities of the latest AV technologies. In one year I increased revenue by 46.4% against an industry average of 3.9%. The last piece of the puzzle was understanding how to guide clients the way a creative agency would.

Great Barrier Reef

I moved into a content creation role for the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority, producing media to support conservation projects and public awareness campaigns. The work required translating complex environmental science into clear, engaging stories for local, national, and international audiences, across video, podcast, photography, animation, and design.

Australian Radio Network

Lead digital content producer for North Queensland and the Northern Territory across 8 radio stations and 28 social media channels. Multi-camera video, motion graphics, animation, photography, with articles syndicated across 46 stations nationally. Running in parallel with ongoing independent production work.
