Hey SLATE clients and everyone we’ve been able to meet along the way!👋🏼
Besides everything I’m involved with at work, here’s a proper intro to me outside of SLATE: At the moment, I’m spending a lot of my time training at the gym and for a trail run which will be my longest. I’m sure working out can be boring for some people… but I’m having a lot of fun since I’m doing it with friends who keep me accountable. I’ve got a 25K trail run 🏃 at Noosa, so any running tips out there from you, please send me an email, haha! 😛
My favourite project would be the TIACS Trucker video we shot out near the airport in Brisbane. I love it because it’s really meaningful and if you’re a trucker or have family of your own, it’s a really emotional topic to connect with. Plus, on the day we were shooting, it started raining the second we yelled, “cut!”, which kept the pace up on set which I love.

Hi, I’m Alexander! My day-to-day consists of client relations and team management whilst also working on the business development side of the company. I’ve also been slowly building up my latte art skills with every morning coffee! 😉☕️A hobby I’ve picked up recently is basketball. 🏀 I love the sport and getting to play every few days is a great way to get some exercise in and zone out of everything else going on!
My favourite SLATE project is our Redefining Toughness campaign for G-SHOCK because it was one of the first larger scale productions I worked on since starting at SLATE. 💥 It was a campaign that highlighted a great message and was really fun to work on as there were many different aspects to the shoot.
Head of Branding & Amateur Climber

Howdy! I’m Jules, SLATE’s Head of Branding and resident Graphic Designer. 🤓
My days are usually filled with designing visuals and strategising personas for brands, as well as preparing social media content (including this EDM) for the SLATE team! My background in Film & TV 🎬 comes in real handy whenever I’m producing or acting as 1st Assistant Director on campaigns for our clients.
When I get the chance to step away from my desk, I love to climb rocks 🪨 and mellow out with my British Shorthair cat, Sweetie. 🐈
My favourite SLATE project to date is a toss up between the Cromwell College campaign and our ongoing brand & website refresh for the World Cube Association (WCA). Both projects have allowed me the space to grow and thrive in my area of expertise and I’m sure as every creative would say, there’s no better feeling than learning new skills in what you already love doing.
At the end of the day, the perfect project is curated to context and created with intent. 👊🏼
Web Developer & Speedcuber

Hey! I’m Mitchell, SLATE’s in-house Web Developer. 👨💻 You’ll find me knee deep in my VSCode Environment, Webflow Designer, or Shopify Editor day-to-day, working on our upcoming website launches for clients.
My favourite project to date is actually one we are currently wrapping up: providing a ground up redesign for the World Cube Association (WCA) website. I loved the opportunity to research the many different user profiles that will be using the website and making sure each and every one gets the best user experience possible when providing a great new UI. ✨
Outside of work, I love watching motorsport, playing poker, and solving Rubik’s cubes. Most notably, I love travelling around the world 🌍 to compete in cubing competitions, and have competed in over 50 of them in 7 countries!
Sound Engineer & Videographer / Musician

Hey, I’m Toby! 😇 I’m a videographer, editor, and sound designer, and no two days look the same for me. Some days, I’m out on location shooting campaigns; other days, I’m in the studio, piecing together visuals and crafting soundscapes from scratch. I love bringing ideas to life and making things look (and sound) as good as they feel! 🎚️
Outside of SLATE, I make music and spend my weekends playing at festivals around the country. Music and film go hand in hand, and I feel super lucky to work between both worlds!
A standout project for me? Co-directing AvoFresh’s national campaign. Getting to shape the vision from start to finish made it such a rewarding experience—and a whole lot of fun!🥑
