I'm a multidisciplinary creative working across film, television, live events, design and education. My work spans directing, production design, art department, object design through The Messy Formist, as well as guest speaking, workshops, mentoring and aligned creative projects.

Rather than fitting neatly into a single job title, I bring together storytelling, design thinking and practical problem-solving to help shape thoughtful, meaningful projects across a range of industries.

I work with individuals, creative studios, production companies, businesses, councils, arts organisations, educational institutions and not-for-profits.

If your project values curiosity, creativity, collaboration and thoughtful execution, there's a good chance we'll work well together.

Projects may include:

• Film directing

• Art direction

• Production design

• Art department

• Design consultancy

• Mentoring and advisory work

• Guest speaking and panel discussions

• Workshops

• Brand collaborations

If your project doesn't fit neatly into one of these categories, I'd still love to hear from you.

While I'm based in South Australia, I'm available for projects throughout Australia and internationally.

Depending on the project, I can work remotely, travel to your location or combine both through a hybrid approach.

Absolutely.

If you would like me to consider a role on your film, please include:

• the script

• project synopsis

• treatment (if applicable)

• proposed timeline

• production stage

• intended budget

• funding status (if applicable)

• my role on the project

• my proposed fee

The more context you can provide, the easier it is for me to assess whether I'm the right fit.

Yes.

I speak on topics including creativity, design thinking, filmmaking, entrepreneurship, multidisciplinary careers and building a meaningful creative practice.

Every audience is different, so I tailor each presentation to suit the event, its objectives and the people in the room.

Speaking opportunities may include conferences, podcasts, universities, schools, workshops, panel discussions and industry events.

Yes.

I occasionally offer mentoring for emerging creatives, filmmakers and designers.

Availability is limited throughout the year.

Yes.

Depending on the project, I provide creative direction, concept development, design thinking and strategic creative advice.

Sometimes projects need someone to make the work.

Sometimes they simply need someone to help shape the thinking behind it.

Occasionally.

For me, commercial collaborations are partnerships with brands, organisations or creative teams where there is a shared purpose, aligned values and a clear creative fit. This might include brand partnerships, creative campaigns, speaking opportunities, product collaborations, events, educational projects or selected promotional work.

I prioritise thoughtful, values-aligned collaborations over one-off promotions.

The Messy Formist is my companion studio and object design practice, dedicated to designing functional forms for focus and exploring how form influences behaviour.

While this website focuses on my broader creative practice, TMF focuses exclusively on object design.

Generally, yes.

Availability changes throughout the year. The best way to find out is to contact me.

The earlier, the better.

Large projects such as films or major collaborations are often booked months in advance, while smaller projects may have greater flexibility.

A few helpful details include:

• who you are

• what you're working on

• proposed dates
