Creative Producer & Director in the ‘life changing’ business”
Crafting Compelling Visual Narratives
As a Creative Visual Storyteller and content producer/director I solve problems, tell stories & make things happen. I have over 20 years' experience in all the creative arts including design, film production, content strategy, advisory, tech and also business. I can spot a story a mile away and have worked with many brands (and the people behind the brands) to bring their stories to life. If there's a way to do it, I’ll find it.
I’ve had many hats/job titles from Owner, Creative, Director, Script Writer, Project Manager, Account Manager, Relationship Manager, Producer, Creative Director Art Director, Designer, Digital Producer, Camera Operator, Editor, Interviewer…the list goes on. The irony is that I’m not into job titles. As a Creative Producer/Director, I travel all over to tell amazing stories of talented people.
I’m part of a unique creative team at HainesAttract, mentoring and working on projects that solve the needs of organisations looking for talent. I tell people “I’m in the ‘life changing’ business” – as we market lifestyle, culture, purpose and unique reasons to work for a particular organisation. So that means using the same skills used in mainstream marketing for a niche area. This includes conception through to delivery.
I co-founded Access Granted, one of the best podcasts in NZ about tech, media, startups, and upstarts, where I honed my skills as a podcaster, presenter, producer, and writer.
