Biography
Not quite athletic enough for pro sports and far too scared of clowns for the circus life, Tommy found his true calling in advertising, starting as an Art Director in 2009. Since then, Tommy’s built a career crafting cross-disciplinary, out-of-the-box, award-winning creative work that works.
Tommy’s creativity has earned accolades at every major international award show, including D&AD, One Show, and Cannes Lions. Highlights include the Gold Lion winning Foxtel/HBO’s ‘Grave of Thrones’ and Volkswagen’s ‘GTI Hijack’ campaigns that cemented his spot in The Drum’s Top 100 Creatives worldwide.
Over the years, Tommy has partnered with some of the world’s most iconic brands, including Volkswagen, McDonald’s, Diageo, Qantas, Heineken, Netflix, Amazon Prime, and Westpac. If it’s a campaign that made you think, laugh, or ‘fang’ a ute up a mountainside towards an avalanche of boulders, odds are Tommy had a hand in it.
Beyond the day-to-day, Tommy has lent his expertise as a judge for the multiple award shows, a mentor for AWARD School, and This Way Up Festival presenter. Basically, anywhere creative minds gather—probably with coffee in hand and a wry smile on his face.
Currently, Tommy serves as the Executive Creative Director at Leo Australia.
