Meet the team
Ryan Kelly

Having started Creative Natives in 2019, Ryan's role involves working with clients to make them better places to work and helping steer the careers of Executive level talent. Outside of work, you'll find Ryan trying various sports and activities in an attempt to keep the dad bod at bay, hanging out by the beach and pretending to have some form of wine knowledge.
Luke Bayliss
Candidate Experience Coordinator
Luke’s our creative matchmaker who loves helping people land their dream jobs. He’s all about doing recruitment the right way and keeping things thoughtful. Outside of work, you’ll find him on Reddit, watching Survivor, or hanging with his dog. He’s fresh from an incredible Japan trip and has a secret talent for naming flags on sight.
Brooke Barrett
Candidate Experience Coordinator
Meet Brooke, our performance and digital marketing specialist who knows exactly what great looks like because she’s been on the tools herself. She’s all about connecting top talent with teams where they can genuinely thrive. Sharp, switched on and big on the human side of hiring, she makes every move feel like the right one. Outside of work, she’s either lost in a good book, watching reality TV or reliving her New Zealand ski trip stories.
