Yo hey, this is me—Felix
Creative.
Art Director.
Director Director—as in, like, film.
A relentlessly curious cat—from advertising to design, film, VFX, tech and board games.
And an em-dash enthusiast—evidently.
I’ve created a cocktail to reduce car crashes, a US drill sergeant to sell fertiliser, and pitched a TikTok digital Acknowledgement of Country which landed us Runners Up in the Australian Cannes Young Lions Competition.
From concept to execution, I've developed integrated campaigns for national and international brands—including leading interstate shoots to such places as Darwin, Moree, and Christchurch (yes, I’m counting New Zealand as interstate).
Currently Art Directing at Bundy Create with Annie Nash. Also Co-Chair of the Youngbloods VIC committee.
Let's talk proactive ideas over a beverage.

REVIEWS
"I’ve been managing creative staff for over thirty years. Every so often, I meet someone very special. Someone who treats their work with great care. Felix is one of those rare young people who has greatly impressed me. Since that time, he has grown to be a leader and someone I trust with every task. I'm very happy to endorse Felix's good character and recommend him highly."
—Scott Bundy, ECD & Founder of Bundy Create
"The phrase 'creative unicorn' gets thrown around a lot in agency land. Felix Barnett is one of the exceptions. A genuine creative unicorn. A true hybrid animal of words and visuals, Felix is a versatile creative with a knack for coming up with ideas that just work.
Working with Felix on overseas clients, often with limited budgets and tiny content libraries, I've seen him pull together incredible commercials seemingly out of thin air.
That's what makes Felix such a rare creative. He's not just someone who can make things look good or sound good. He's someone who can find the idea, shape it, and bring it to life by himself."
—Heath Kunde, Senior Copywriter
"Felix has a good head on his shoulders, with an excellent mixture of creativity and practicality. He is a good thinker and not afraid to speak his mind. Not only reactive when needed, but incredibly proactive. Felix was a sponge, questioned things and was great at taking feedback. I was instantly impressed with his confidence and was able to totally trust him with decision-making. I cannot recommend him more highly."
