About me
Experienced Brand and Creative Director
I have gone far from my beginnings, from discovering my passion for Graphic Design in my hometowns of Bradford. Today, I can state that I have achieved recognition on notable assignments around the world - presently as a Creative Director and Brand Manager with the Hamad Medical Corporation in Doha, Qatar and previously as a web designer for the BBC, for example. Yet I remain a Bradford boy - I possess the old-fashioned values of hard work, decency and commitment that have served me well, especially now, in the fast-paced, global marketplace.
Today, I am a dedicated, driven professional with creative direction, art direction, corporate identity and branding experience committed to delivering high quality outcomes whilst meeting project deadlines and client expectations:
- Proven experience gained across a series of high profile on/offline projects delivering to timeframe and budget deadlines.
- Exceptional project management skills across the full lifecycle management of key assignments; from initial creative concept through to final delivery.
- Advanced communication skills enabling concise interaction with clients, management, peers and team members.
- Extensive technical skills covering a broad range of software applications to deliver outstanding results.
I am pleased to offer my clients exceptional project management skills across the full lifecycle of key assignments; from initial creative concept through to final concept and deliverables. I offer expertise in the medical, broadcasting, retail - investment banking and government project categories, in addition to agency experience. Working on a variety of projects for diverse industries has developed my capacity to direct teams to create innovative solutions and respond with flexibility throughout the creative process. I enjoy leading teams and expanding the capabilities of those around me.
