I am currently the founder and Creative Director of dD Promotion & Design with a comprehensive background across most areas of design, gained from a designing career spanning over 20 years. The most recent being employed by an international agency named Creata. During my 18 years of employment with Creata I have gained extensive experience working with a variety of global brands in a multitude of markets heavily exposed to brand and licensing guidelines. Licenses such as Disney, Dreamworks, Marvel, a variety of Hasbro brands plus much more along with some of the global leading brands such as McDonald's, Coke, Kellogg's, Nestle, Eveready, Schick  and Woolworths just to name a few.

Working with large global brands is nice however, they aren't always the challenging projects. Quite often it's the smaller niche brands that are looking to make an impact that are the true challenge from which I have also had the pleasure to work with. As a result I have a great deal of knowledge and experience in eDM’s, direct marketing, branding awareness and experience and promotional campaigns targeting numerous markets all with fantastic results. My areas of expertise span across a variety of media and have a strategic and innovative thought process looking to achieve the best possible outcome and result for the client and the brand/s involved. Branding and product development, packaging, consumer promotions and point of sale collateral in the FMCG arena and other markets have been my forte for the majority of my career.

I have had several career highlights but one that is quite recent and would be familiar with nearly everyone across the globe would be the recent global McDonald’s Packaging where I was invited to take part in what was called the Global Packaging Hothouse in London.

With a very hands on approach I like to motivate and mentor the team and all involved in the development process.

In my small amount of down time, and as a father and family man I enjoy many activities, but my favourite would definitely have to be tournament fishing. I compete in professional tournaments like the Berkley, Evinrude Team series (BETS), The Southern Bream series, The Australian Freshwater Masters and the Australian Yellowbelly Championships plus many more. Fortunately, I have enjoyed some success and partner in a sponsored boat/2 man team.
