about

From here I took off to Brighton, England and begun managing a small health food shop and this was where I was introduce to the business side of things.

This role taught me all about managing people and how extremely complicated that can be.

After a year of England, I got the first taste of my career in Shanghai, China at The Mailman Group - one of Chinas biggest marketing agencies for western companies.

I took up a designer/developer role here, In hindsight I really sucked at it, but I guess they liked having me around regardless?

On a trip to Dubai to renew my Chinese visa, I was scouted by Amongst Few to run their online store and that's exactly what I did for the next 2 years.

In this role, I was focused a lot more on digital marketing than design and development.

During a trip home to Australia in 2018, I joined my friends at a birthday dinner, during this dinner I needed to get some cash from an ATM. On my way, I saw a completely packed barbershop, and about 100m from that, another fully packed barbershop and that got me thinking. Maybe I should open a barbershop, so myself and Khalid did.

Welcome to life Unison Barber

3 months after opening unison, a deal was struck to open another location in Bikers Cafe with them in their cafe.

Next up was Reef Cuts - a barbershop located in Surf House Dubai to mark barbershop number 3.

Weighing up my options of being stuck alone during a pandemic in my Dubai apartment vs wait it out in my family home in rural Australia. I picked the latter and begun an extremely busy freelancing career as every business needed to launch online overnight.
