No one calls me Jonathan

Except my Mum when I’m in trouble, so I used to get it a fair bit.

I grew up on a cattle farm in Australia, where I developed a passion for avoiding farm work.

This led me to Advertising, where I’ve worked as a creative for the past 17 years. I’m fascinated by the intersection of creativity and AI, and its potential

for storytelling. I’ve won the top awards at all the major shows, including the under-12’s 50m Freestyle at the Cowra Swimming Carnival.

I’d love to chat work, AI, or even cattle.

Weaknesses: Sometimes I work so hard I don’t realize I’m in the shot.
