Brands are often developed without intention of clarity and purpose. They default to mediocre experiences for the customer, an unfulfilling purpose internally, and an impact which falls short of their potential. Every one suffers as a result. We believe brands can enrich our lives, and help save the planet, with a missional identity that shifts them to a new level, and creating a categorical uniqueness of unrivalled value in the market. NE PLUS ULTRA is a brand studio that champions brands to create a world with extraordinary experiences that matter to people and planet.Our Brand Transformation is the effective and strategic way for purpose-driven brands to connect to value-conscious consumers with style and substance.

KNGDM.Studio builds brands for impact, for non-profits and for-purpose initiatives. We believe unforgettable brand experiences can change minds and shape behaviour, to achieve what we all want—helping us be who we want to be, for the world and future we want to create. We're often amazed about our clients' vision and capacity to make a difference. You're not ordinary folk. You think outside yourselves with a mindset of abundance, and proactively do what needs to be done. We see that, and love becoming passionate about your mission too. But also, we see the way you’re showing up doesn’t always capture the wonder of your vision, or make it attractive or clear enough for others to become part of it. The reason we love what we do is that we get to amplify your heart for what’s good, and package it in a way that has others make the same commitment—so together we believe we can make a real impact. In a way that articulates the depth of your drive, executed to the height of great brand experiences. And, to have an effect on your audience that fuels a desire for deep personal change, not just fear from apathy—where they keep coming back, and just can’t keep it to themselves. At KNGDM.Studio, we want to amplify your mission to create a brand for impact. We believe unforgettable brand experiences can shape our behaviour to achieve what we want, and help us be who we want to be. It’s our world, our future, let’s own it together."Trusting Grant had the greatest impact because he took us to a place we could not have taken ourselves.

Becoming a fashion photographer was a dream I had since I was a teenager. I learnt from some talented artists, and having the opportunity to live and work in New York and LA was incredible. I also set up a separate brand with a focus on corporates and entrepreneurs called, Arena Studio.

Playing annually to audiences in excess of 300,000, working at Sydney Theatre Company gave me opportunity to grow into different areas like photography and video while directing a small design team. In the years under Artistic Director Cate Blanchett and Andrew Upton, it was the most exciting time for the Company, with internationally acclaimed artists making work at The Wharf. Lead a small team across most aspects of STC’s marketing online and print for the design and oversight of the STC brand and sub-brands, theatre production marketing and in-house design requirements. Reported to the Marketing Manager and presented concepts to Artistic Director(s) and the General Manager. Managed multiple projects across various disciplines (video, photography, design, web) with internal stakeholders and external suppliers and contractors.
