‘Codee would excel if he applied himself
and stopped distracting others’
- Mr. Burden, Year 7 teacher.

As the URL suggests, my names Codee. I’m a multidisciplinary creative with an art direction background and an insatiable hunger.

I cut my teeth at Colenso BBDO, Auckland. I spent 5 years there, building my skillset and book across an array of traditional, non-traditional, digital, and social campaigns for some of New Zealand’s biggest brands. As I realised people would pay me to come up with stupid ideas and those stupid ideas quickly turned into smart ones, I decided to make the jump over the ditch and have been stationed at M&C Saatchi Melbourne ever since. It is here that i have had the chance to hone my skills and become the freak that i am.

Through all this I have developed a passion and keen interest for creative that plays in the digital and non-traditional space. Ideas that transcend advertising and feel more like an integration into human behavior rather than a picture and some words on a billboard (Although these obvi are fun too).

If you would like to hear/see more of my work then feel free to hit me up.
