I am the Chief Creative Officer at what3words, working with a wonderful team of people who are building a global standard that helps everyone talk about everywhere.
I'm the co-founder of creative consultancy, Truth & Spectacle. Our mission is to help more people work with creativity, and we coach a broad range of organisations and teams.
I love to make lots of things with lots of people.
My career started in Johannesburg working with a great creative director who encouraged me to be a graphic designer, art director, web designer, illustrator and occasional IT guy.
In Toronto I learned how to make integrated campaigns from two amazing creative women, and also made “Diamond Shreddies” which found its way into textbooks, TED talks and ridiculous YouTube clips.
I joined Ogilvy & Mather London as Worldwide Creative Director for Dove. I went on to lead Dove Men and Brand Unilever. Then I became Worldwide CD for Philips Consumer Electronics, and was the agency’s creative lead for all things digital and integrated.
When I went to Adam&EveDDB as Global CD for Unilever where I made a lot of tea and ice cream ads.
