Strategy / Design / Code

I’m from Newcastle, NSW, Australia. I’ve recently moved back after a solid sint of working abroad and I’m stoked about it1. Newcastle is Australia’s second oldest city and is flanked by amazing beaches. I built an iPhone app to show the world how awesome Newcastle is2.

Being regional is no barrier to being world-class; see what Adam and I are up to at The Village of Useful | Newcastle Advertising and Communications Agency.
