G'day, I'm Tim.

Born and raised in New Zealand—four countries, nine cities and three citizenships later, I'm in New York and still spelling it colour.

Since 2007 I've concepted, built, managed, driven, and whatever other verbs it takes to get ideas over the line—at a few agencies, and currently as a creative director at 72andSunny LA. Leading several brands and teams at once, across disciplines, developing platforms that outlast campaigns and pitches that bring in the business.

No matter what country, market or size of brand I'm working on, I do it for the same reason: ideas that change minds, build business, and give people something other than the weather to talk about.

I'm also keen on putting ink on just about anything, spending time behind a camera, starting to work with footy clubs you’ve never heard of, and reading my way through every Booker Prize winner.

Drop me an email and let's have a yarn—I like doing that.

What I'm pretty useful at:
+ Making the complicated simple, and shareable.
+ Building what lasts past the campaign.
+ Leading multiple teams without losing the craft.
