About

A marketer raised on film sets.

I’m a marketing professional working across brand strategy, integrated campaigns, content production and global product launches. My career began in creative production — on film sets and behind the camera — before agency and in-house roles taught me how to carry a campaign from first idea to final result.

That mix means I understand both sides of marketing. I can shape the strategy, read the customer, brief creative teams and agencies, bring stakeholders with me, and land the work across channels and markets.

Most recently I’ve led marketing for LEGO® lighting across Australia, New Zealand, the US, Canada, the UK and Europe — driving growth through product launches, a brand refresh, digital campaigns and customer-first content.

What I do best is connect customer insight, creative storytelling and commercial objectives — marketing that earns attention and moves the business.

Off the clock

Still telling stories — just without a deadline.

Painting and digital illustration, and a slightly unreasonable amount of film and TV. It's the same muscle I use at work: composition, colour, and knowing where the story turns.
