About me

I'm a creative with agency and freelance design, photography, copywriting and radio prowess that I've been gaining since way back when...guess I'm senior now.

My photographic retouching and editorial design work has appeared internationally in publications such as Time, Playboy, National Geographic, Wired, Glamour and Vogue amongst many others. I creatively retouched the image entitled Kylie's Pants that won IPA-Lucie Pro Photographer of the Year 2008 for Nick Veasey and a book of radiographic images: X-ray won IPA/Lucie Book of the Year 2008.
I've worked as a leader on many prominent advertising and editorial projects with premier international agencies and have freelanced with an array of private clients. With wide-ranging experience in photography and journalism I have won a clutch of international accolades in design, photography and recently, in broadcast radio and have worked with a fascinating array of creators, artists, scientists and all-round trailblazers.

Currently I work as a Content Manager, Photographer and Radio Presenter in Sussex.
