Hi again!

Seamus learnt early that 50% of people will say his name “Sea-miss” rather than its quite obvious Galiec pronunciation of “Shamus”. It was this rather early problem that made him realise problem-solving was his calling, so he started a degree in Biological Science. It was there that he learned that labs could be boring and switched those problem-solving skills to graphic design. 

Once in the industry, he underwent the metamorphosis (over 11 years) from Designer to Art Director to Tinker and now an Associate Creative Director, collecting a range of skills in each role working across KFC and Dan Murphy’s, both CUB and Lion, Coca-Cola and BMW to namedrop a few. And along the way picked up a Master's in Digital Media.

Seamus is a romantic who genuinely believes that creativity can change the world (whether that is in advertising or not is up for debate).
