When I was 6 years old I won a Kentucky Fried Chicken colouring competition and have been involved in Visual Communications ever since.
Am from New Zealand which I've always considered a very lucky place to be from. After completing a degree in Anthropolgy and some creative wanderings in film & design I set up a graphic design company: Meanest Indian in the Land and later started teaching design at university. Spent a few years in Hong Kong followed by another couple in India – teaching at the National Institute of Design (NID) – and then on to Europe from where I continued to lecture and dabbled in writing for the occasional publication, including Monocle magazine and the Guardian.
I'm now back in New Zealand where I focus on research, writing, comms. and brand strategy for clients both here and offshore. Am also keen on evolving directions of design for social innovation – significantly via my work with OpenIDEO. You can check out my explorations on the intersection of communication, culture and creativity at Random Specific.
Am happiest when global roaming with my eyes wide open and my camera ready for action.
