About me

As former Head of Design at a small agency I have extensive experience working on a variety of projects. I'm just as happy working on immersive year long high value offerings, as I am on small quick turnaround jobs.

I really enjoy mentoring junior team members and enjoy watching their skills grow.

Always attentive to the needs of Creative Directors & stakeholders, with an eye on the bottom line.

I have taken many projects from pitch stage to final release and beyond and picked up a few awards along

the way.

A busy creative environment is where I thrive and am known as a calming influence when things get hectic.

Brainstorming, mood boards, paper and pencil always come first and I encourage all team members to get involved and not be afraid to pitch ideas, however silly they seem at the time.

Some experience with video editing software and an MA which involved a lot of 2D/3D animation.

A hands on designer at heart, highly proficient in Illustrator, Photoshop & hand drawn Illustration.
