Bio

Meet Tom.

Tom is a creative thinker and designer living and working in the Bay of Plenty, New Zealand. He has over 10 years experience working throughout brand, digital and advertising agencies in England, Australia and NZ. Starting off as a designer, working in digital and progressing into art direction has given him a unique understanding and set of skills that help brands connect with their audience.

Creating something new and exciting in a world saturated by marketing is no easy task, it takes innovation and enthusiasm that only a few manage to hold onto a decade into their career – a few like Tom.

Since his university days, Tom has been winning awards for his work – 10 awards in 10 years in fact, but let’s just talk about the latest and greatest.

Tom’s creativity is matched only by his perceptive restraint giving him a unique outlook that helps connect brands with their audience. His years' of experience show through in the precision and attention to detail that takes a wild idea and turns it into a bold statement.

His experience is not just limited to NZ. As an Art Director for CHE Proximity and then Saatchi and Saatchi in Melbourne, Tom was working alongside some of the sharpest marketing talents, generating ideas for some massive clients, such as the Bank of Melbourne.

After moving back to NZ, he worked for Tauranga based agency, WAVE, generating brilliant conceptual corporate communications for organisations like the Port of Tauranga and Trustpower.

Tom's expertise is not just limited to the traditional design landscape but it also extends into the digital sphere with experience in designing and creating eDMs, digital banners and web design.

Drop us a line to work with a progressive designer that makes big statements with minimal fuss.
