About me

Global Design Manager/Creative Director with over twenty years experience working with FMCG brand leaders and Retailers. John Lewis, Marks and Spencer and Tesco (global), Aldi, Trader Joe's, Walgreens, Kraft Heinz, Coca-Cola, Amazon and Kenvue (Johnson's Baby and Listerine).

Establishing and managing high performing design teams, along with recruitment and personal development is something else that I am passionate about.
I have worked across the board on all marketing materials: magazines, brochures, direct mail campaigns, annual reports, POS materials , exhibition stands, store fits, events, social media, web and digital marketing. My passion is global packaging - flexing brands and identities and adapting regional nuances.

Design directing, large scale global redesign roll outs, 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.
