Justin Westgate, creative director

I have some 25 years experience working on wide-ranging creative and social design projects. This includes branding and communications, social marketing and campaigns, web and digital products, photography and video. In NZ I’ve worked for local government, NGOs and change agencies, education providers and research entities, and arts and culture organisations. In the UK I served as design manager for international humanitarian agency Christian Aid, and I’ve worked in lead design roles in Australia and Ireland.

I’ve been actively involved with collaborative networks focused on social and environmental issues, as well as social innovation, which has included Intersect NZ, Global Climate Change Week, and Social Design Sydney. I have also served as lecturer and examiner across university design programmes in New Zealand and Australia. I have undergraduate and postgraduate degrees in design, a BA in sociology/anthropology, an MA and PhD in cultural geography.
