About me

Idea focused and visually orientated, I take your message to where your audience is hanging out in a way that genuinely engages. Digitally minded and with an obsessive love of craft I get stuck into every stage of the project. With 14 years experience in the industry, 9 of which freelance I've honed my skills at a wide range of agencies from plucky upstarts to heavyweight hitters, and even direct with clients.
Yes there's the creativity, but that's a given, what I value the most in the workplace* is emotional intelligence, life's too short to be placating massive egos, and if you want to get mercenary about it, happy people make better work.

When I'm not boring everyone with my architectural observations in the UK you'll find me in France trying to improve my French with a mouthful of viennoiserie and yes, probably taking photos of buildings at jaunty angles.
