Dan is a big believer in making ideas and stories that people feel - then creating the systems, tools, and experiences to let them act on those feelings. He’s spent the last 20+ years bringing together ideas, people, and technology to do that.

Dan is an accomplished and awarded creative leader who’s worked with many of Aotearoa’s and the world’s most familiar brands to progress their purpose, connect with culture, and succeed.

In that pursuit, he’s launched physical and digital products, US hit podcast series’, one book of short stories, and many absurdly ambitious, weirdly satisfying or uncomfortably personal experiences. Dan’s rotating and mostly data-fuelled side-projects currently have him wading into gaming and digital art.

Dan has spent his career at top-ranked creative agencies in London, New York, Sydney and his hometown of Auckland, where he’s led some of the world’s most successful creative teams.
