Team.

Jody Tucker

Managing and Creative Director

Nothing creates a sense of accountability quite like having your own name on the front door.

Equally, no one does as tough an apprenticeship quite like a member of the family. Jody’s rites of passage have spanned formal design study qualifications, running his own freelance business, and establishing and managing Tucker extensions in Asia and North America, as well as initiating new company products and services in the areas of bespoke merchandising and production.

With full visibility and hands-on involvement across all Tucker Creative initiatives, Jody’s extensive experience sets the tone for the company’s core values and culture – celebrating creative and original design, informed strategies and transparent communication.

When not in his studio or in-market with clients, Jody enjoys all aspects of cooking, socialising and entertaining, keeping an eye on his favourite AFL team, perfecting his tennis serve and having a friendly yet competitive game of pool with friends.

Outside of work, Barry is an avid traveller with some of his highlights being a visit to Iguazu Falls on the Brazilian–Argentinian border, and driving a go-kart through the streets of Tokyo.
