Sean Patterson
Client Partner
Mary de Grey
Projects director
Loves teamwork, a to do list and getting stuff done.
As Projects Director at Zaang, I lead end-to-end delivery on our client work. I have 20 years of experience and bring a calm, professional approach to complex projects and to the people involved in them. I’m a pragmatic problem solver and a clear communicator: friendly, diligent and detail-oriented without losing sight of the bigger picture.
Out of work I’m busy with family, coach girls football, run a mum’s football team the ‘Stingers’, love a hill walk and running, and squeeze in the odd snowboarding trip.

My top 3 projects
My top 3 projects
Collaboration, beautiful brand assets, and the pride of doing justice to a beloved brand with people who care as much as I do.
Crafting the event identity and collateral for pladis' annual "Make Happy be Happy" Cup of Cheer campaign was deeply satisfying; knowing our decorations, props and digital assets would unite pladis globally for a shared day of joy.
I loved this project because it put girls' needs first. Designing a campaign microsite guided by real student stories, where the work had to be as useful as it was beautiful.
