About

I direct and deliver story-led campaigns and high-trust productions for NGOs, public agencies, and purpose-led brands across Australia, Aotearoa, and the Pacific. I’m a BAFTA-finalist director and creative strategist with 20+ years of experience leading complex, cross-cultural work across the Pacific, Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. I’ve directed multiple documentary series and commissioned films for Al Jazeera English, and led branded video series and national campaigns on financial wellbeing, equity, and public trust. I’m hired when the story is culturally sensitive, the stakes are high, or the audience is diverse—bringing calm leadership, creative clarity, and regional fluency. Through Nine Islands Media, I offer full-scale production or can step in as a director to lead existing teams—ensuring the message connects, the process runs smoothly, and the outcome earns trust.
