He has worked across celebrated advertising campaigns such as Movember's 90s inspired Dial-a-dad series, spruiking a new parenting resource tool for parents, a tongue-twisting dialogue packed comedy piece for McCain's Beer Battered Chips, a sci-fi techy bonanza for TedX Melbourne and a less sci-fi but still techy spot for Reece's design app (oooh fancy).
