“What a fucking surreal journey it has been, as a cross-cultured, between worlder... With parents from Japan and Australia (the invader variety, British-Scottish), growing up on a mountain community with no electricity surrounded by forests. Fast forward through years of shit jobs, smoking up way too much, DJ-ing at a prison (as a guest from the outside – no I'm not that much of a badass) - marking the beginning of progressively moving further and further away from the highly inappropriate degree I landed up in straight after high school as I went head on into DJ-ing and the rave music scene in general.. Met some dude from India, whom I stupidly divorced almost as quickly as I got married to at an air force station in Punjab - post getting a little too deep into the hostessing scene in Japan. Fast forward again through even more shit jobs, thrown away relationshits (relationships) which could've been pretty amazing, but fuck it – I didn't know what I wanted then. No regrets... Sometimes you gotta be in something a while to know it's not for you... To finding that precious fucking calling of what the hell I wanna do with all this creative energy that I didn't know where to put and how all this time... So I smashed an art and design university degree submajoring in photography and film in Melbourne (but definitely not the education debt).

Cutting around Europe and Australia shooting advertising and editorial commissions, then finding myself spending years in Dubai and then India... Finally landing up in the grit of downtown Tokyo, where I've teamed up with art director Tetsuya Toshima, founding UNIT – a full service, billingual creative production agency. We Cut The Night (a photography and film collaboration shot in Asakusa, Tokyo) kind of marks the beginning of a new era, where the vision is to bring together all the best of this lone-weirdo-hybrid and make some killer work for clients both in Japan and internationally. Hey - life's crazy... But all the best stuff comes out of the hard stuff... It's been a tough path to take in the creative industry, full of challenging moments, even reaching terrifying points of self doubt that I thought I couldn't do all this anymore.. Then realising, fuck – I just needed some freaking headspace after working so hard... Then rediscovering that raw, uninhibited creative energy again – remembering why I took this path in the first place and feeling pretty much ready to smash out many more chapters to come.. ”
