About ME

I’m a senior creative in advertising with over 17 years experience.

I believe in grabbing people by the eyeballs.

When it comes to ideas, they need to be big - I love ambitious clients who demand big thinking.

I’ve always enjoyed pushing creative into new territories. I began my career at VCCP turning small DM briefs into opportunities to stage TV shows and paint murals across cities.

An essential part of my work as an art director is directing multi talented designers, illustrators, directors, editors 3D artists, coders and over 20 years I’ve learned how to get the very best out of the people around me.

I’m a grown up - hissy fits are not my style. I’m utterly committed to getting the best result on every single project I work on.

I’m not scared of the future - my career has seen me move from Direct Mail, to TV advertising, to branding, into digital and back again. Integrated, 360 degrees, through the line - I’ve been there for every buzzphrase. As the number of channels have grown over the last 20 years, so have my skills.

I’m adept in Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe InDesign, Microsoft Powerpoint and Google Slides.

In my spare time I write jokes, TV scripts, plays and film scripts. I’m also an endurance runner (marathons so far, ultra marathons if family life and body will allow).
