Lindsay Rogers
Co-Founder & Managing Director
Lindsay was once fired from a magazine, perhaps because her communication skills extend far beyond a glossy page. In fact, she knows the phonetic and fingerspelling alphabets, is an absurdly fast typer, and always up for slightly inappropriate banter.
We mean the kind of banter that makes Lindsay laugh so uproariously that everyone in the studio stops what theyâre doing to look over their monitors in astonished silence. We think it must be the same laugh that won over her imaginary friends Ali and Ixox when she was younger (it sure explains a lot).

Tristan Velasco
Co-Founder & Creative Director
With a bunch of time on ‘client side’, Tristan knew it was time to give full-time content creation a red hot go. He’s a lover of getting down to it, making a way and solving problems. Tris is all about creating cool stuff; written, typography inspired, hand drawn, painted or shot, he’s got the eye.
An early riser, soy flat white drinker and golf extraordinaire. Tris believes ideas come in many forms and that’s the complexity of our weird and wonderful brains.

Philippa Jameson
General Manager
When Philippa started her career in advertising she first worked with Nestle. Sheâs never gotten over her love of chocolate. First love runs deep.
To rival her love of chocolate is a love of France. Francophile. This Francophile appreciates saucisson, vineyards, the French language and (happily for us) putting together a cheeseboard par excellence. While an obvious bon vivant, sheâs always up for a challenge. Sheâs jumped out of a plane, jumped off a waterfall, swung over the Nevis canyon and climbed a live volcano⊠all even though sheâs terrified of heights. She has also run a casual marathon on the Great Wall of China (a place not known for its running-friendly surface). It seems the one challenge she hasnât confronted was her childhood aspiration to be a DJ, which she âluckilyâ grew out of. But itâs turned her into the 80s pop trivia master that she is today.

Christina Knox
Account Director
Not a morning person. But more of a person post-coffee. This describes Christina, but somehow it speaks for us all. After studying design and photography at uni Christina realised she could use both sides of her brain in advertising â and immediately enrolled in a masters. But she has useless talents too. She names reciting the alphabet in Italian and in sign language as talents that will not get her far in life.
Terrified of needles, sheâs tried hypnosis to erase the fear â and now she doesnât pass out when sheâs getting jabbed in the arm. She still hates needles though. She is, however, a lover of gin, bad dad jokes and quoting a wide range of movies and television shows. At least after a coffee she is.

Gabi Atchison
Senior Account Manager
At last! Someone who can take on the heavy responsibility of selecting a Spotify playlist in the Chello studio. Gabi takes her playlist curation very seriously and this is the change we need around here. As an art history buff she also rounds out our excess of movie trivia. Sure, itâs niche. But who hasnât been totally bewildered by a question about Caravaggio at some point in their lives?
You can often find Gabi cooking up a storm but just know that she doesnât actually follow recipes. Her Pinterest recipes are more of a visual reference.
She can also play three instruments⊠but itâs been a while between songs, so donât ask to be serenaded any time soon. She can, however, put on an exquisite playlist for you.

Rosie Dingle
Account Executive
Rosie harbours an irrational fear of lizards, including the garden variety. As far as fears go, itâs an original. Also original? Getting idioms mixed up. This is Rosieâs curse and we love it. Killing two stones with one bird? Sure! Finding a sore thumb in a haystack? Why not? This is how English will ultimately advance. She loves dad jokes and conspiracy theories equally. Which we can understand: one can be so bad they’re good and the other can be so absurd that they make sense. Weâll let you decide which is which.
Rosie also worships at the altar of sugar, subscribing to customs like dessert before dinner. Or, if youâre going for the jugular, dessert as breakfast. We think sheâs working in the right place.

Ceri Jones
Producer
If spiders terrify you with their insistence on being present in your company, Ceri is the person to call on so that said spider can be released into a vicinity that is not your own. This makes her an asset in an office, and Australia more generally. Yet her first eighteen years of life were spent in small English towns â and London, where she hit the books at Central Saint Martins. With a fascination for the odd and macabre, her weakness is haunted houses.
She is unable to pass one without daring to enter, which may prove inconvenient at times. She is a proud parent to two rabbits, Ballet Slippers and Captain Willard.

Celina Siriyos
Senior Copywriter & Strategist
Do you have a pop cultural memory that cannot be Googled? Celinaâs is a Gregorian chant version of âGhetto Supastarâ which she heard in a Sanity near the turn of the millennium. She is unsure now if it was just an elaborate figment of her imagination or a stroke of genre-crossing genius that cannot be unearthed by the internet.
In the time between (supposedly) hearing this song and the current day Celina has managed to: kill a litany of plants, learn Japanese book-binding, and become a writer. She loves turbulence but is terrified of amusement park rides.

Sean Pointing
Senior Motion Designer
Fun fact: Sean (a UK-import) has no sense of smell. Fortunately, having no sense of smell means Seanâs other senses have developed at a Super-human rate – his eagle-eye vision in particular enables him to compose shots with pinpoint precision while his god-like hearing means he can hear like, really well. Heâs also super enthusiastic about motion graphics, typography and the monarchy (we guess).
When heâs not-not smelling things, he spends his free time riding his BMX and paddling his fishtail short-board with his unnaturally small feet. Feel free to ask Sean what things he canât smell (which spoiler alert â is everything).

William Nghiem
Motion Designer & Illustrator
Things Will dislikes: attention, wasted time and negativity. But he likes movies, all kinds of movies, from sappy rom coms to high-brow cinema. Will is likely to be entangled in an art, illustration, or handicraft project at any one point in time. He also claims to be quite flexible but we are yet to confirm this in an office flex-off.
He lives by the quote, âWhatever is worth doing at all, is worth doing well.â (And just quietly, we think it shows in his work.)

Shea Bennett
Senior Camera Operator & Editor
Shea (pronounced like shea butter, not shay-ah as Tristan discovered on day one) spent a lot of time in Asia shooting fast cars and luxury brands and joined our team to capture and release killer shots. An avid lover of James Bond books as well as the movies, he enjoys the fast pace and vicariously living a scandalous lifestyle.
Between the hours of 12-2am you’ll probably find Shea with a breakfast burrito in hand, because yolo, he believes you can enjoy a breakfast burrito at any time of the day.

Sophie Taylor
Design Director
Sophieâs secret skill? Sheâs a pro anagram solver. But when you meet her she is likely to be hungry and thatâs the reason why she eats lunch as soon as it is socially acceptable (12:01pm, obviously).
But that doesnât mean sheâll eat just anything. She dislikes foods that canât commit to being a solid or a liquid, naming yoghurt, panna cotta and custard as perpetrators of this crime. Despite her city-dwellerâs black wardrobe, with hints of navy, sheâs a country girl. Or⊠she likes the humble sound of being a country girl. She left when she was four. But itâs still technically correct (the best kind of correct).

Natalie Wong
Senior Designer
Natalie prefers dogs to people. We know this is true because whenever we go out for lunch or drinks we’ll invariably turn around to find that Nat has somehow coaxed a dog into her arms. Luckily she has her own staffy to shower adoration on: his name is Percy â or Percival if he’s being naughty.
Nat travels for food and has had the very distinct pleasure of eating both tarantula and starfish. (She turned down the sheep’s appendage though.) It has been verified that she makes a mean chocolate meringue almond torte.

Becky Gillis
Designer
Becky has two older sisters, 37 cousins and 17 aunts and uncles. Family get togethers must be frantic. And possibly the reason that Becky can eat three times her body weight at twice the advisable speed. This often results in a bout of hiccups so if youâve got a weird hiccup cure weâve got just the person to verify its effectiveness.
Having danced for eleven years she is r-e-a-d-y for any costume party that requires sequins, sparkles and feathers. She has paraglided off the Alps but remains terrified of heights.

Rebecca Odey
Junior Designer
Bec eats popcorn most days. Usually with chocolate. Another intriguing fact is that after working in marketing for five years, she studied graphic design and switched to the dark arts of creative. Bec waved goodbye to the rolling hills of Sweden three years ago to make her dream of living on the beach come true. And now it has. In fact, if you canât find her, sheâs probably on the sand with a book or in a yoga studio.
She claims to be the worldâs slowest eater which makes her a terrible person to share food with. Or a great one, depending on how aggressively you pick off other peopleâs plates?

Lucy Bailey
Finance Manager
Lucy is from a big family and a small town. But if you were alive in Australia in the early naughts, youâll know of this town⊠Lucy is from the âvery exoticâ Shropshire. She originally came to Australia for a six month holiday but that was six years ago and she hasnât made plans to leave. Sheâs worked in waste management, transport and property but after three and a half years in an agency knew that this was the right industry for her. Lucy is most annoyed by slow walkers and loves any meal she doesnât have to cook. Or that comes with a wine. Better make it both.

Linh To
Assistant Accountant
Originally on track to study pharmacy, somewhere along the way Linh fell into finance and never turned back. Sheâs a busy aunt to six (at the time of writing) very young nieces and nephews, so you can imagine the pressure of trying to establish herself as the cool aunt when Christmas shopping. But to truly claim this title, Linh will have to eventually teach them karate since she has a brown belt. A lover of travel and adventure, sheâs spent six months travelling Europe and has briefly lived in a tribal village in the northern jungles of Thailand. Her dream is to swim in the Red Sea.

Jennifer Davis
Senior Producer
Jennifer goes by the moniker âJd” and it must be written with a lowercase “d”, for reasons unknown. This has managed to upset many a spellchecker but life can’t be lived in fear of a squiggly red line. Instead? Jd’s out there living her life with short coffees, a pair of skis and a fluency for science fiction. With a cheeky ten years spent working in broadcast media and advertising, she puts the pro in production â that and she’s one of those weird people who can read a book while walking.

Jacob Hogarth
Camera Operator & Editor
Diagnosing himself as âseverely gingerâ, Jacob believes he would be happiest living underwater. Presumably, to escape the brutality of the Australian sun. Also, he loves the ocean and all the scuba diving it facilitates. His favourite animal is the humpback whale and he can never go back on this claim, because he went and tattooed a whale on himself. He doubles down on his seasonâs greetings by celebrating Chrismukkah each year.

James Horan
Senior Editorial Photographer
Say hello to James, photographer and human database of great places to eat and drink. This makes him useful on far-flung shoots, apart from his ability to take natural, modern images that evoke the personality of his subjects.
Heâs snapped for big brands and big names like, well⊠ever heard of this guy, Barack Obama? Yeah, he sounds vaguely familiar to us too. James loves lifting weights but if heâs not working you’ll likely find him in the ocean.

Rowena Clarke
Photographer
Despite her passion for all thingsâ photography related â Rowena is not a fan of Nickelbackâs âPhotographâ. But then again, nobody is. She does however enjoy The Cureâs âPictures Of Youâ and âHey Man Nice Shotâ by Filter.
Rowenaâs fascination with photography started when she saw her grandfathers wartime photographs of his time riding camels in Egypt â and has gone on to be published by titles such as The New York Home Observer and Cosmopolitan Bride. We often like to ask Rowena to look at our photographsâŠbecause every time we do it makes us laugh
