Hi, I'm Angus.

At times, I've been a graphic designer, a performing arts marketer, a tour manager, a cyclist, a web3 enthusiast, a broadcaster and a musician. I've always been from New Zealand, and I currently live in Manchester with my wife Nadia and our two daughters.

I am currently Head of Marketing & Communications at Band on the Wall, a legendary Manchester music venue.

I graduated from the University of Otago's Department of Design Studies in 2010 with a Bachelor of Consumer and Applied Science, and began my career as a graphic designer at Walsh & Beck, a full-service marketing and PR agency in Dunedin. After two and a half years agency-side, I moved into marketing and design roles across the performing arts and events sector.

My experience includes senior marketing and communications roles with Dunedin Arts Festival, Dunedin Fringe Festival, the New Zealand International Science Festival, Auckland Arts Festival, and Whānau Marama: New Zealand International Film Festival, as well as publicist work for the Dunedin Midwinter Carnival.

From 2018–2021, I was a founding board member and Design & Marketing Manager of Arcade Theatre Company.

I was also the bass guitar player in indie-folk quintet The Broken Heartbreakers and noise-pop quartet Asta Rangu, and released a solo record, Of No Particular Significance, in 2017.
