I’m a freelance writer and creative based in Sydney. I write copy for advertising, screen write for TV and film, plus I’ve written a best-selling book. I have a lot of other great qualities as well. I’m a presenter on Triple J, and I have an opinion column in the Sydney Morning Herald. I create comedy musicals, lead marketing campaigns, direct web series, produce branded events, and there’s more, but, um, I can’t remember...
Suffice it to say, I write and create a lot of a lot. Some say it’s because I’m desperate for work. My mum recons I’m something called ‘a polymath’. One time my arch-nemesis called me a ‘bewildering weirdo with undiagnosed ADHD’, well, jokes on them because I was diagnosed with ADHD ages ago.
Me? I like to call myself The Creative Octopus because, when it comes to making stuff, I’ve done at least eight tentacles worth. I really like that about myself. You can scroll below to see some of it.
Ah, one more thing: while being a creative octopus is my biggest superpower, being unemployed is my biggest flaw. So please give me a job.
Check out a few of my tentacles!
