About
Over the past 6 years working as an idea-driven Art Director and Graphic designer, my passion for creating effective and good ideas has only grown, and with it the skills to bring them to life. Turning me into a multi-skilled creative go-go gadget of sorts. (See skills section)
I've worked across creative campaigns that have helped people have a better retirement, aided in stopping violence against women, bettering animal welfare, and even suicide prevention. I've also helped Australians fall in love with cricket again, introduced Australia to the wild through wines from Tassie, and to family heritage with Brown brothers. I've helped build iconic brand visual identities,
in Australia, PNG, and Fiji.
And I'm keen on doing a LOT more! :)

Don't just take my word for it though...

"Jaksen – let me count the ways. Clever, insightful, hard-working fella who can do everything from hard-hitting to side-splitting and all the stuff in between. He can meld the science of behaviour change with the art of crafting an idea. Dangerous in a good way."
Emma Robbins
Executive Creative Director. M&C Saatchi Melbourne.

"Jaksen – such sharp and considerate creative! As a director, that gives you so much confidence because you know every angle is covered. It's all insight. Everything is there for a reason, and it results in great fucking work."
