Hi, I'm Dan.

I strive to elevate businesses with creative design solutions, empower teams through workshops, and foster thriving & connected workspaces.

With nearly two decades in the creative industry, I have driven exceptional outcomes by managing and coordinating design teams and clients across various projects and workshops.

My diverse portfolio showcases agency work in branding, web design and development, print, and digital, for both local and international clients, including Cartier, Half Dome, Webflow, Untitled Group, Universal Music, and 50 Cent.

Notable projects consist of 'Paul Milinski's 'Australian Dreamscapes', large-scale 3D artworks commissioned by Cartier to cover their Sydney flagship store, driving brand awareness and attracting significant media coverage, as well as developing an award-winning long-form visual essay for Webflow, ‘Web Design & Art History’, demonstrating the full artistic potential of their platform.

Beyond design, my passion for teaching and workshop facilitation has enriched the lives of numerous individuals and teams. As an experienced improvisation performer and instructor, I have taught comedy workshops to hundreds of students.

My expertise also extends to facilitating corporate workshops in improvisation and creativity that promote teamwork, agility, communication, and collaboration, helping companies create supportive atmospheres and thrive.

I am passionate about cultivating positive environments that inspire creativity and connection, and have successfully run Grovefest, an independent film festival, to encourage creative expression in a safe space.

I excel at driving projects to success while nurturing a creative and collaborative work environment that enable individuals to flourish creatively.

Work with me

Dan Thomas
