About me

I'm a Creative Director with experience across TV, print and digital. I've created a number of award-winning campaigns over the years, including a lot of firsts. Working at some of London's most respected creative agencies, I come up with ideas that are strategically strong and have an impact on culture.

I used to cow-sit for Michael Eavis to get tickets to Glastonbury Festival. Rather than pursuing a career as a druid, I started writing for the Guardian when I was 19 years old. I became a Contributing Editor at GQ at 20. I then moved agency side, helping to launch two digital startups, which were both acquired by Nasdaq 100 companies.

Nowadays I work across TV ads, online films and interactive. I also write screenplays and am represented by United Agents in London and AAO Entertainment in LA. My scripts have been funded and in development with Working Title Films, Working Title TV and the British Council. I've won screenwriting awards at PAGE, Screencraft, WFSA and ScriptFest.

My advertising work has been awarded at D&AD, Cannes Lions, The One Show, LIA Awards, Campaign Media and the International Emmy Awards among others.
