Pleased to meet you!
I'm a Creative Advertising graduate, copywriting aficionado and amateur graphic designer who's looking to develop my creative talents in practical, positive and
fast-paced real world environments.
Employer & Client Testimonials
Bastion Shine
Rich Maddocks | Chief Creative Officer
If you’re after for a young, hungry creative who is desperate to impress, then look no further than Theo.
In the short time he was with us at Bastion Shine, Theo not only smashed out the small annoying stuff but came armed with an array of well thought through, big ideas on the opportunity briefs.
He also started two weeks before we asked them to, so you know he's dead keen to get into the industry and make a career out of it.
Big Boy Websites
Alex Mann | Managing Director
Theo wrote numerous web-ready copy manuscripts for our clients.
He has an ability to understand the objectives of the client and then create compelling copy that resonates with their web visitors.
The nature of creating WRC is difficult and is rarely seen in many copywriters and Theo’s knack at getting to the nub succinctly is impressive.
Theo is also creative, therefore adding that little extra bit of spice to headings, subheadings, and calls to action.
Myself and our clients enjoyed the copy he created for us.
W Hamilton Building
Karen Hamilton | Managing Director
We had previously met Theo through a business coaching relationship where he had worked on a few projects with us, and always delivered.
Due to time constraints, we were not doing any social media marketing for our construction company and were more than enthusiastic when Theo advised he could do this for us.
While we still provide as much content as possible, Theo formats this, checks any copy, and attends to the actual posting. He also finds content for us to fill any gaps.
Theo is organised and efficient, but within those parameters, offers a degree of flexibility and 'no stress!' which is exactly what we need.
Serviceman
John Bayne | Manager
Theo designed two websites for my businesses. I was initially delaying the project as I knew it would be a mammoth effort to gather and assemble all the content required.
I was pleasantly surprised to find that the process was so much easier than I first envisaged and that Theo was a total 'content guru'.
He gleaned all the relevant info very painlessly and efficiently and put it together in a way that appealed to our customers.
I am very pleased with the outcome and highly recommend Theo for all website design work.
A Quick Bio...
I was Radio Dunedin’s voice of Sunday mornings for several months in 2018, joining as a volunteer broadcaster. Here, I’d play a great range of music, discuss local issues and chat with Dunedin locals, from 6 to 9am.
For nearly three years, I was also the sole curator of satirical ‘news’ blog; the ‘Dunedin Underground Free Press’. Peaking with over four hundred Facebook likes and several thousand web impressions, I ‘retired’ the site in 2020. You can read some of my favourite articles on my website.
I’ve been a passionate football and cricket fan since childhood, catching as many Wellington Phoenix and BlackCaps games live as possible, while also supporting Manchester United from afar.
I’m currently teaching myself the bass guitar in the hopes that I’ll one day be able to play along to my favourite tracks from Stone Temple Pilots, Kings of Leon and The Police. Watch this space!
In my free time, I’m either cracking a beer, watching copious amounts of TV, or getting into a good book. If you need any recommendations on what to drink, watch, or read next, ask away!
