Gold Coast
With 19+ years in film and TV including over 300 x TVCs, I prioritise reliability and integrity. Gold Coast–based, I bring versatility across dressing, standby assisting and art department assisting - ready to step in and deliver.

Lists as:

  • Art Department Assistant, Runner
  • Set Decorator, Dresser
  • Standby Props Assistant

From Set Dresser to Standby Assist, or jumping in as an Art Assist, I’m a “get-it-done” guy based on the Gold Coast who is always happy to roll up his sleeves and help out.

ASSISTANT PROPS BUYER 2021 – 2025:
70+ TV Commercials varying in scale from small two-person Art Dept teams right up to large-scale line productions from all corners of the globe.

SET DRESSER/STANDBY PROPS ASSISTANT 2011 – 2021:
250+ TV Commercials with countless trucks full of dressings, early morning bump-ins, and late-night wraps. Meticulous when resetting a location and always with an upbeat attitude.
