About me
I am a London based designer and art director who focuses on creative storytelling, problem solving and mentoring.
I've spent my career in the advertising industry working as a designer at various agencies. I've worked with brands such as Sainsbury's, Three Mobile, Uber, Shell, NatWest and UNICEF. This includes working on massive, multi-lingual global campaigns as well as smaller, custom online campaigns and consumer experiences. I've worked through both design and art direction on many clients.
In tandem to my career in advertising and communication, I've spent much of my time building a creative network of graduate designers. Frustrated with the inadequate help there is available for graduates looking to join the industry I started a series of monthly talks with two fellow designers. We now partner with The Design Kids (a global organisation) to run these talks, as well as separately organising opportunities for graduates (such as running a nationwide exhibition across unused billboards, or facilitating student self-promotion competitions). Our talks bridge the gap between student life and working life and we average 80 attendees.
When I'm not working or volunteering you'll find me either sketching (cup of tea in hand), cooking up dinner (cup of tea in hand) or sending interior design books to my mum (cup of tea in hand).
