About me

I have broad experience primarily in the B2C and B2B markets over a very wide spectrum of clients; from start-ups to SMEs to multinational corporations.

As a creative professional, and a Member of the Chartered Institute of Designers, I have many years experience in directing and controlling budgets, running successful and productive creative departments.

Experienced in branding, art direction and print production, I have successfully worked on brand application for a wide and extensive brewing portfolio. My skills also encompass radio, corporate video, TV, POS and have worked to varying degrees on most channels of delivery.

As well as the depth of knowledge in print and press, I am au fait with digital delivery, social media and its influence. Previously, I designed and implemented the online retail presence of a recognised Gentlemen's Outfitter's, acting as Creative Director and 'Scrum Master', creating a successful and profitable e-commerce proposition.

Experienced with start-up businesses, including in the past my own, I have been involved with IPOs; helping raise finance for developing businesses.

My skills and management ability have been developed over the years with plenty of 'hands on' involvement as well as the ability to think outside of the norm. My experience is an asset that has been gained at all levels of involvement and I possess the ability to communicate at all levels from switchboard to boardroom.
