Real talk. I place creative excellence and quality control at the heart of everything I do, ultimately to make better work and ensure impeccable client retention and growth across the region.
I manage a team of brilliant creatives and producers, to create a kind and patient, yet energetic studio culture with a positive balance of support and independence. I deeply believe that a warm, approachable team environment with inclusivity at its core creates a place to work that feels good for the soul, where creativity flows more freely and communication rarely breaks down. I absolutely bloody love a team brainstorm and always appreciate that the team will more passionately champion a creative project when they were part of its inception.
I tread a fine line between having an incredibly competitive spirit – which sees me striving to surprise my team members and clients with unexpected ideas that perfectly nail the strategy and backing those ideas with confidence and doing what it takes* to get decisions over the line – and wanting to have a nice time at work – which sees me keeping a level head, choosing laughter over stress, and refusing to develop a creative ego that impacts my positive relationships with colleagues or clients. This has served me pretty well.
*by this I mean smashing out a screenplay and happily performing it to a sea of stakeholders who largely have their cameras off, as opposed to poisoning the local river.
