In my career I’ve had the privilege of applying creativity to well known international brands. Enjoyed helping large advertising agencies win international business. Try to respectfully mentor and guide other creative people when I've been asked to. And in general, be chill, keep my eyes and ears open and continue to follow my nose.

Born down under, living in Amsterdam.

A game designed to be a light way into a space we typically find difficult. Pre Ju Dice encourages people to exercise their unconscious bias, to become more aware of it.

Making people aware of their unconscious bias helps them recognise when it's activated. This small recognition can help people process their bias consciously as they're experiencing it and intervene.

Pre Ju Dice gets more people used to healthy relaxed dialogue around bias’. It's interactive, practical, and unlike a keynote on diversity it can be replayed frequently and provide new experiences and takeaways every time you play.
