about
Howdy. I’m Dallas.
I’m a Creative / Copywriter currently based in Adelaide with a passion for emotive storytelling and impactful work.
Before I stumbled into advertising, I worked a handful of jobs ranging from filming local footy games to serving up slow-cooked brisket at an American BBQ restaurant. In both cases, exhuberant amounts of hot chips were consumed.
Outside of adland I love spending my time watching movies, reading manga and wiggling my toes at local gigs. I’ve won AWARD School, volunteered at AvCon (translation: nerd convention), and filmed an official Guinness World Record involving a Rickshaw.
I love creating work that inspires people, that changes the way they think about themselves and the world around them. And I do have a soft spot for anything completely irreverent.
If you’d like to chat, hit me up. Let’s make something cool.
