DIRECTOR
GARY AUBIN’S
BACKGROUND
I started out life in the UK until 1980, when I was shipped out to Godzone to begin my life as a Kiwi. I lived in sunny Nelson until my late teens, spending my days listening to depeche mode and enjoying Trumpets on the beach with Rachel.
I started out my design life back when Super Mario was a cowboy, investing in a my PC General P1 beast! – my very first PC. The "General" took me through Otago University & Polytechnic studies where I skilled myself in Multi media & desktop publishing, video postproduction, audio production and interactive design.
Things started small – I worked with a number business's on various design projects. By 1996, I had landed a role in multimedia development with US-based Trimble Navigation. I worked with a very talented bunch of people who lead the field, covering all aspects of media design – from authoring, print design, audio and video production, to web-based interactive media.
In 2002, an offer came my way for the role of Creative Director at a well-known New Zealand software company. I took on the challenge and went on to become a part of its success story, providing in-house creative for some big-budget marketing initiatives around the world.
Following a short time contracting, in 2006 I took on a two year tenure at design firm G&A Nelson, working as Creative Director.
Which brings us to today. After a 6 offshore tenure in Hong Kong directing a product launch for a key Hong Kong client we are now a fully fledged Wellington based design agency with a team of 6 talented profesionals, comprising of designers, copywriters, web developers and administration, working with some great people, here in NZ and abroad.
