Luke is an intuitive creative whose breadth of skills and experience across many disciplines gives him a unique advantage when designing for brands who need creative solutions. With extensive experience within the surf, street and action sport industries, working for brands such as Dickies, Thrills, Billabong, Mambo, and Chilli Surfboards. Luke is an esteemed designer and artist with a growing reputation.

Luke has mastered developing apparel and accessory collections which drive commercial sales outcomes and YOY growth, but which also pay homage to the importance of brand health and youth culture aspiration. His recent work for Dickies saw the brand have remarkable growth for top of body garments largely in tees and shirting, shifting brand perception and making Dickies one of the top sellers of T-shirts in the Australian retail space.

During his design career Luke has continued to stay true to his artistic passion by personally curating exhibitions for Mambo, charity Take 3 For The Sea, Billabong and LA’ Division, whilst also having the privilege to be invited to showcase his own work in shows hosted by Red Bull, Canon, Converse and Oakley, alongside the likes of artists Anthony Lister, Kentaro Yoshida, Ben Brown, Mike O’Meally and Otis Carey.

Sustainability is a strong theme that runs throughout Luke’s professional and personal endeavors. He strives to explore sustainable design solutions without compromising profit within a commercial setting, and in his spare time is an ambassador for charity Take 3 for the Sea and Clean Coast Collective. Admirably in 2017 he spent a week on Australia’s remote Chili Beach on Cape York, camping and picking up plastic to promote plastic use awareness, he then returned to host an exhibition with Billabong supporting this plight.
