AIB are an industry leader in Sustainability investment and awareness, which includes an annual Sustainability Conference featuring keynote speakers such as Trevor Noah and Jacinda Ardern.
In 2023, AIB wanted a film to wrap up the conference and leave the audience motivated to take action. Droga5 wrote a simple, effective script to deliver on this, which I directed on location at Belmont Demense.

O.N.E is an Irish national charity for homeless veterans. During the COVID pandemic, the charity saw a huge drop in donations that impacted their ability to provide shelter and services to homeless veterans.
To raise awareness of the issue of homeless veterans we took the thing that keeps soldiers unnoticed and transformed it to shine a light on them. We created Hope Couture: a line of camouflage streetwear inspired by the unforgiving streets of Ireland. Together with Ireland’s top streetwear designer we created 3 unique patterns drawing inspiration from real locations where homeless veterans have slept. A new way of collecting donations by designing modern digital camouflage patterns around QR codes. An innovative design process that made donating accessible to anyone with a smartphone.

Let’s White Claw is a campaign that embodies everything that White Claw is about - the idea that when you’re handed a can of White Claw, it’s an invitation to pure, uncomplicated fun.
As part of the gang at Rothco, we recruited a series of directors to conceive and shoot their own scenarios that capture the Let’s White Claw feeling.
Alongside a team of editors and creatives, I handled offline and online editing across a suite of films from different directors and scenarios, with no scripts or storyboards, just footage and a feeling.
