About me

Global Design Manager/Creative Director with over twenty years experience working for three of the UK's most iconic brands - John Lewis, Marks and Spencer and Tesco (global) - as well as Aldi, Trader Joe's, Walgreens and Kraft Heinz. Working alongside some of the leading food manufacturers and design agencies.

Establishing and managing high performing design teams, along with recruitment and personal development is something else that I am passionate about. I am a people person who strives to get the best out of professional relationships.

I have worked across the board on all marketing materials: magazines, brochures, direct mail campaigns, annual reports, POS materials , exhibition stands, store fits, events, web and digital marketing. My passion is global food packaging - flexing brands and identities and adapting regional nuances.

Design directing, trafficking, scheduling, print management, procurement, copy writing, art buying, art directing photoshoots, writing and clarifying briefs, forward planning, negotiating costs, allocating workloads, managing time sheets, budget management are just some of the many skills that I have acquired over the years.

Available for freelance work.
