About me

I'm a CD and writer with a background in agencies across Europe and the Middle East.

I've worked at BBH, Rainey Kelly Campbell Roalfe, Ogilvy, Y&R Zurich, CDP, BDDP Frankfurt and DDB Qatar. For two years I was the Executive Regional Creative Director for Grey across the MENA region, based in Beirut.

When I'm not working on advertising I explore the possibilities of multimedia photography.

My work was chosen as one of the BBC Readers' Pictures of the Year 2019 and I was one of the eleven finalists for the Wisden-MCC Cricket Photograph of the Year 2020.
