About me

Born and bred in Cleethorpes, Lincolnshire, I'm happiest building brands, robust websites and even a sprinkling of video editing — shaping ideas from the ground up and turning them into something distinctive, memorable and built to last.

With over 20 years' industry experience, I've been heavily involved in creating brands, apps and digital experiences including promotional videos for names including Mars Drinks, Virgin, MTV, Live Nation, EFL, Holland & Barrett and Nicholas Deakins — while also building and launching my own award-winning brands, including ibbleobble, FOVI and RazzlDazzl.

I care about the details. Every pixel, interaction and decision should earn its place. I love subtle animation, playful touches and moments of delight, but I've got no interest in generic design. Give me trust and creative freedom and I'll always push for something bolder, smarter and a little unexpected.

Away from design, I'm uncle to six superhumans, a collector of vinyl art and far too many boxed trainers, and usually thinking about the next idea worth bringing to life.

I work best shaping ideas, building brands and creating things with heart, character and a touch of mischief.
