Our team
Zebra Direction staff bio’s
- Frederic Couturier
Managing Director -
When Frederic is not sourcing new and innovative ways for his clients to market their products, or harassing the creative department about the effective use of drop shadows, he can be found scouring the Net for untapped free software to download. Incredibly he continues to complain about the volume of spam he receives despite the ASIO like firewalls installed.
Although known to murder a golf ball, tennis ball and chardonnay (not necessarily in that order) Frederic adds some European charm to our boutique office.

- Ben Quist
Client Services Director -
When Ben’s not working hard on his clients latest campaigns (which is 24/7!!) he has been known to actively chase a golf ball or a good bottle of cabernet. Often he has been known to actively encourage his clients to join him in these pursuits. It has been said that if it were not for an obvious lack of ability he would have been very successful on the US PGA tour. 
Ben is participating in Movember 2009!

- Julie O’Shannassy
Account Management/Production Co-ordination -
Julie likes nothing better than curling up with a good murder mystery and a bucket of chardy. It’s a way of channelling those murderous thoughts she harbours of her colleagues. If it was not for the banter with the clients every day, her evil plans may bubble to the surface…… - Read more
- Rebecca Howse
Art Director -
A dedicated creative design professional, Rebecca has been known to be distracted by anything quirky as well as the precious moments of life. She has come to manage her passionate focus on animal print, typography, improvised dance and shower singing with strong coffee and good sauvignon blanc - often in the same mug.
"I do believe it adds to the quality of my work" she trilled whilst pirouetting from an intense client session.

- Martin Haberle
Account Manager -
Although disappointed in being pipped by Daniel Craig as the new James Bond, Martin has not wasted his extensive training in all things sophisticated.
When he is not wowing the fairer sex with cooking skills that make Jamie Oliver’s meals look like roadhouse fare he is focussed on mixing the perfect ‘Manhattan’.
Martin has brought a level of energy (and noise) to Zebra Direction that at times is reminiscent of the MCG on Grand Final day, but is always insightful and enthusiastic in addressing client needs. - Read more
- Origenes Suwinita
Database/Systems Manager -
“Data is my life” is what you can hear Ori whisper to himself whilst developing tables, numbers, and queries. But he forces himself to make time to indulge in other activities in an attempt to gain "street cred” – Pimping his ride and cruising the strip, or ‘out there’ rafting, bush walking, and go-karting. Though he enjoys these activities, deep down he is still a nerd at heart. - Read more
- Kerry-Ann Bartle
Graphic Designer -
Equally at home in rollerblades or heels Kerry-Ann undertook a bold move, making a career shift from being objet d'art to creating it. Seeing the beauty in all things provides licence to address creative ideas from a fresh and at times challenging perspective.
Claiming to enjoy a party only on the odd occasion (read, odd days of the month) KA, a long-time member of the Reims ‘magnum of the month” club does like to take time out in the sun with family, friends and small animals.
This fashionista provides a new and vibrant viewpoint to the challenges Zebra Direction’s clients present.

- Zen Lucas
Electronic Media Developer -
Zen has spent a lifetime developing his extensive skill-set in design and new media use whilst simultaneously denying he is the spokesperson for the school of Mahāyāna Buddhism.
A diverse industry background from global accountancy firms to an environmental consultancy in London, has provided him the perfect background for the diverse group of clients that Zebra Direction supports.
A devoted father who makes Dr Wright look like an amateur and an active home renovator, Zen is never happier than when he receives a last minute banner ad brief.
