Art Directors

Aimee Tadmore
With an interest in permaculture, fashion, music and enjoying the diversity of a big city, I often find myself challenging my confidence with my curiosity. This serves as inspiration to me as advertising reflects the period's culture as well as reflects the current, future and past ideologies. Which is why I am energized by the creatives and mundanes of the world, and how I can contribute. As an ambitious art director, blending human truth and diverse perspectives has enabled me to explore my unique style. Find me in all corners during my free time; enjoying Melbourne’s liveliness, getting my hands dirty with a new project or soaking up sun.

You’ll find me in the creative and production departments as an Art Director or Creative Producer. I’m camera shy. But I’m not shy of camera. Strictly behind the scenes, I love producing, art directing, and spitballing ideas within a team to make the pictures move.

Claudio Palmeri
Hi I’m Claudio ! I’m 22 and finishing my degree in advertising so I’m now looking for work in the industry as an art director. I grew up doing and still love graffiti and kinda fell into advertising as it’s actually quite similar to my love for graffiti. Graffiti at its core is all about catching peoples attention with bright colours, big pieces, crazy spots and getting up as much as you can so people see you everywhere. In my eyes, good advertising isn’t much different. I’ve interned at zinc group doing ad work and also interned at workwear group designing clothes. I also run my own clothing brand @acaerrr :)

Gabriel Fargher
Since I was young, I have always had a fascination with the unknown. I was the kid that was always tugging on their parent’s sleeve asking ‘why’. I may have gotten older but my curiosity and thirst for knowledge is just as present now as it was back then. This has led me to develop a wide range of niche interests, from 80s Japanese new wave to collecting tin robots When writing copy, I draw upon my interests and unique set of knowledge to produce inventive creative solutions to fit any situation.

Hello!! I’m super grateful to be apart of the pitch night 2023 team. To cut to the chase, unfortunately in July I had a serious skiing accident and sustained multiple injuries including a spinal cord injury (SCI) and traumatic brain injury (TBI). Whilst being in hospital for 2 months and learning how to walk again, I had my amazing peers help include me as much as I was able. Though I’m still in recovery, the good news is I’ll still be able to come for part of the evening on the 17th! Before July, I was set on becoming a copywriter. I’ve grown up adoring words. I’ve been a poetry and songwriting geek all through-out high school and University. And don’t get me started on Balderdash! Every time I think of a clever phrase, definition or rhyme, I genuinely get a kick out of it. The copywriter rush I call it. Though I’m not looking to find a job currently given the long term recovery plan set in place, I am still keen to come meet everyone as I’m not going to let this setback get in the way of my dreams. See you there!

At first, I hated ads because I wanted to watch my favourite shows, but eventually, I grew to love them. After graduating I plan on travelling to Europe for a little while (along with the rest of Melbourne), but right after that, I want to get started in the industry as either a copywriter or art director. Hire me to find out more!

Di Wang
ABOUT ME
Di Wang
Before studying advertising, I was an artist. I studied drawing, sketches, and oil painting for almost seven years and experimented with illustration painting styles. After three years of studying advertising, I was interested in planning work. Art and planning are connected to a certain extent. They both require a deep understanding of people's needs and emotions to create unforgettable experiences - this is what I want to do in the future, and it is my passion.

ABOUT ME
Patience Ntim-Duodu
I’m the person who will call you at the slightest inconvenience just to tell a story that definitely could have been a text. Storytelling is such an empowering art form and I love giving people the platform to do that. Give me a brief and I’ll have asking themselves, “Why didn’t I think of that myself?” Pitching and presenting is where I shine so if you ever forget anything about me, it probably starts with a P: Patience. Pitching. Presenting.

ABOUT ME
Claudio Palmeri
Hi I’m Claudio ! I’m 22 and finishing my degree in advertising so I’m now looking for work in the industry as an art director. I grew up doing and still love graffiti and kinda fell into advertising as it’s actually quite similar to my love for graffiti. Graffiti at its core is all about catching peoples attention with bright colours, big pieces, crazy spots and getting up as much as you can so people see you everywhere. In my eyes, good advertising isn’t much different. I’ve interned at zinc group doing ad work and also interned at workwear group designing clothes. I also run my own clothing brand @acaerrr :)

Simone Petrovski
ABOUT ME
Simone Petrovski
My journey from a 3 year old, who had very little verbal communication, to an RMIT Communications (Advertising) graduate, is something that makes me (and my speech therapist) very proud. As a child, I made short films with my Barbie dolls. These days, I capture life on video, then make short films. I am actually an Award Winning short film maker (see here https://youtu.be/uxEQuRWh7bA ). I want to use my talents to produce visual content, either in the advertising, or film industry. Video content creation and editing is my thing and I'm amazed that I might have a career doing something I love.
