About me

Hi there,

I'm an experienced creative leader looking for a new opportunity. A project where I can make a tangible difference, help win new business, produce outstanding work and energise the creative process throughout an agency. Putting modesty aside for a moment, I think I'm pretty good at what I do and just as importantly I enjoy doing it.

I've bags of experience above and below the line for international B2C and B2B blue chip clients and along the way picked up a fair few awards including an MAAW Best in the World Globe and IPM Grand Prix.

Connecting customer insights to ideas is what really gets me going. And, although I may spend more time hanging out in planning than I used to, you'll also find me in front of a mac or working with the most junior members of the creative team.
I champion simplicity of thought and articulation, creative strategies that connect seamlessly across channels, crafted to maximise interest and ultimately engagement.
