Lighting of the Sails:
‘Kiss of Light by David McDiarmid’

2025

Creative

For VIVID 2025, VANDAL was commissioned to create the festival’s centrepiece: a 7-minute projection mapping experience for the Sydney Opera House during the annual VIVID Festival.

As a Creative on the project, I collaborated closely with Creative Director Chris Scott and Lead Art Director Anna Fraser from the onset. My role encompassed initial motion graphic ideation and storyboarding, with a specific focus on curating McDiarmid’s extensive archive of Queer art to ensure a narrative balance appropriate for this iconic public canvas.

Beyond the visual narrative, I helped steer the audio direction, working with producer duo Stereogamous (Paul Mac and Jonny Seymour) to compose a bespoke track inspired by the early House music that defined McDiarmid’s era in the US. I also oversaw the entire post-production pipeline, managing the timeline from animatic to grading and final mastering.

City of Sydney‘s
New Years Eve

2025

Lead Creative

VANDAL has been producing the content for the Sydney Harbour Bridge Pylon projections for the City of Sydney for the past 4 years. I was honoured to be the Creative Lead and Video Editor on the 2025/2026 iteration.

Since 2023 we’ve leveraged our bespoke local generative AI in our post-production workflow, seeing leaps in the technology. We approach it by treating the nuances of prompting and guiding with the same discipline as the intricacies of compositing. With that experience, we answered the theme ‘The Face Of The Earth’ by visualising a ‘Botanical Rewilding’ of Sydney Harbour. This featured endemic species of ‘Bloomers’, ‘Sky Seekers’ and ‘Ground Dwellers’; flowers, trees and the floor respectively.

In collaboration with the Royal Botanic Garden, we gathered photography and DNA data of endemic species as well as Creative Commons assets to process in our custom generative AI. We utilised the DNA data to influence the design of our content, effectively letting the biology drive the animation. Our main art direction was to treat the AI generated content through a ‘UV’ and bioluminescent style. This tied it closer to the microscopic nature of DNA but also strategically maximised the colour and brightness needed for a projection display at Circular Quay.

M&M’s ‘Fit Check’ at the TikTok Awards

2024

Lead Creative

M&M’s the iconic Mars brand, always add a playful twist to red carpet events. Partnering with T&Pm and Hogarth Australia, we brought their idea to life: M&M’s characters rating TikTok influencers’ outfits in a fun, interactive way at the TikTok Awards.

Using VANDAL’s Magic Mirror technology, my team created custom animations, a sleek user interface and experience, and over 50 personalised compliments from five M&M’s characters. Guests enjoyed a lighthearted “fit check”, blending humour and style with M&M’s signature charm and personality.

As Lead Creative, I steered the entire visual direction for the M&M’s activation at the 2024 TikTok Awards. I led the 3D team and agency partners to define the look and feel for the outdoor environment, covering everything from character direction to lighting. I also drove the interactive strategy, ensuring the UX and UI across the microsite and Magic Mirror delivered a seamless and cohesive brand experience on the night.
