About me

I'm a senior Brand and Design Director creating distinctive, effective work across retail, ecommerce, consumer brands, lifestyle and B2B. I combine strategic brand thinking with hands-on creative direction and design, helping organisations turn complex ideas into clear, engaging and commercially effective communications.

I have worked agency-side, in-house and independently, including leadership roles at Dobbies Garden Centres and Ocado Retail. I lead multidisciplinary teams, partner with senior stakeholders and work closely with marketing, commercial, ecommerce and operational teams to create work that is creatively strong, practical and effective at scale.

I am comfortable shaping a creative brief, developing a brand system, leading and developing teams, and personally delivering work from concept through to rollout. I build visual identities, campaign platforms and practical toolkits that help brands show up consistently across channels, customer journeys and physical environments.

My work spans brand identity, integrated campaigns, digital and social content, CRM and email, ecommerce, packaging, retail environments, events, presentations, print and motion. I work confidently in Adobe Creative Cloud and Figma, and use generative-AI tools thoughtfully to accelerate exploration while protecting originality, craft and brand quality.

Available for freelance Senior Designer, Design Director, Brand Director and creative-leadership projects, while open to the right permanent Brand & Creative leadership opportunity.
