About me

Hello, I am an award winning graphic designer and art director based in Bristol, UK. I am currently Creative Lead at design collective CompanyX where I assemble and manage freelance creative teams working in both print and digital. I still love the innovative use of print but along with the rest of the world, I am increasingly working digitally on responsive websites, microsite animations and email marketing campaigns. As well as creative work, I also like to get involved with digital strategy, project scope, wireframe prototyping and UX.

To mix things up, in January 2018 I jumped completely out of my comfort zone and created an ambitious side project and art event on the US / Mexico border promoting peace, tolerance and unity called Reflect - A Ray of Hope. I was responsible for the creative direction including the brand identity, pre-event digital (web, social media, crowd funding campaign), project management, identifying and recruiting 'fixers' on both sides of the border, liaising with US authorities and assembling the team of film crew and interpreters. The result was a 30 minute documentary which I edited in Premiere Pro.

I am married with two daughters, enjoy music (especially techno!), comedy, football (long suffering West Ham United fan) and travel whenever I can.
