About me

Hi,

I'm senior integrated art director/creative with 16 years experience.

I started out as a senior graphic designer, before a desire to stamp my own mark on briefs helped me make the jump to art director.

As an award-winning creative for successful London agencies RAPP, Stephen Francis Whitson and VCCPMe (VCCP Partnership), I helped build campaigns that generated millions of pounds of business. I also began winning awards for my work, including a Gold Echo for More Than Insurance.

I'm fully experienced with integrated briefs, and have a talent for beautifully-crafted graphic design, typography and illustration. I'm also fully Mac literate with practical experience using InDesign, Illustrator and Photoshop. I can provide traditional hand drawn visuals and I'm fully comfortable presenting to clients.
