About me

Brands often struggle to turn a good idea into work that holds together across channels, markets, and teams. That's the problem I solve.

I'm a creative lead with 20+ years' experience, working with YouTube, Coca-Cola, British Airways, Google, and Chanel. I've developed global brand guidelines for multinational clients, led multi-channel campaigns for YouTube, Barclays, and BP, and held senior creative roles at Ogilvy and Hogarth.

I've built and led teams in-agency and in-house. My focus is keeping the team engaged and the work moving, so the strategy withstands the journey from brief to delivery.

I also use AI where it makes the work faster and clearer, not as a replacement for creative judgement. I use it to shape ideas and briefs, and to build mock-ups and visuals so clients can approve a direction before production starts. At Hogarth, I used it to analyse staff feedback on an employee engagement project, so the findings shaped what we did next.

I also apply design to causes I care about, including work with WRAP and the British Heart Foundation, and I advise a small East London charity on creative strategy.

If you need a creative lead who can connect strategy, craft, and delivery, I'd love to hear from you.
