About me

To hijack a line from The Greatest Showman, this is me.

I've been navigating my way around this wonderful creative world for the last two decades building in depth experience across multiple disciplines from web design, illustration, print, exhibition stand design, social content creation, experiential design and branding.

In that time, I've swapped the hats of junior designer for creative director, have directed many a video shoot for global FMCG brands, concepted and created engaging social campaigns, rebranded companies from the worlds of fitness, finance and betting, launched a cutting edge multi-million-dollar technology at an international trade expo, built props and decorated sets for immersive 360 video experiences and scripted, planned and developed large scale XR training videos.

I've worked agency side running creative teams, client-side leading internal design teams, freelanced and started my own creative studio working with global brands, start-ups and everything in between. It's been quite the ride; I've never stopped learning or relishing the challenge and although the beard's gone grey that hasn't diminished my desire to be creative in whatever shape or form the brief requires.

So, give me some crayons and a blank piece of paper and let me go to work!
