Hello there!

Shakey likes chillies, the colour blue, beer, film scores and–oh wait, is this that kind of bio?

Thinker. Doer. Collaborator.

I am fortunate to have built, led & reinvented in the media-content-creative-digital ecosystem, working across genres, cultures & audiences.

How Can I Help You ?

Whatever the sector, I bring sharp instinct and eclectic experience to *your* world.

→ Designing a distinct & consistent content strategy to manifest across platforms. 

→ Consulting to set up your in-house creative/content team to work both creatively & smartly.
→ Leading creative execution for your brand, product, service to connect with customers. 
→ Crafting premium consumer & corporate storytelling. 

I thrive most when I work with teams that are inspired, inspiring, inclusive & positive.

I enjoy learning from people, places & stories.

I'm all for finding new ways to spark conversations & connections in our world through stories, big or little. On the lookout for the next exciting way to create, discover and share ideas, content & feels.

A Little More?

I have grown while working at the intersection of creative, content & brand; evolution excites me.

I have learnt endlessly from Producers, GMs, DoPs, Consultants, Students, Sales Teams, Assistants, Art Directors, Composers, Dealmakers, Bartenders, Actors, and many others.

I have evolved as a leader, peer, follower, husband & father.

I am not quite a suit (and have never owned one).

I am not a finished product, but then- there is no such thing!
