Higgins was the Experiential Creative Director of the Commonwealth Bank Centenary events and more recently, for the City of Sydney New Year’s Eve 2011, also devising the themes for 2012 and 2013.
Beyond all that – Higgins has a different pair of glasses for every day of the month – and when no one is looking, he plays the ukulele and tap-dances.
