About me

A highly creative and passionate individual with broad range of in house and agency experience,creating and managing big brands. A reliable, fun loving team player, with excellent written, verbaland presentation skills. Vast experience in design, marketing and brand development

Currently splitting time between Experian in Nottingham as Head of Design in their Global Technologies Division, and building up my freelance brand, Swerve Media, where I provide creative support in the form of design, photography and presentation design to global agencies and high profile clients.

At Experian, I am responsible for the look and feel of all software, marketing literature and external communication

My current role sees me working closely with colleagues around the world, forging close relationships to ensure high standards of design practice are maintained. Working alongside Corporate Marketing, I provide guidance and direction on a number of communication campaigns, such as product launches, web-presence and other commercial projects.

I previously worked for a company called Zibrant, one of Europe's leading event agencies where I managed the design and marketing function of the company.

As Design Manager I was responsible for a small team and also had a hands on approach to all brand communications and the creative direction of the company, delivering brand values through a range of media channels such as printed marketing literature, and advertising as well as working multiple client projects.

Prior to this I worked for Threesixty Innovation, a leading garden and leisure retail supplier. Here I held a senior designer position, working on design concepts and communication campaigns.

Identifying trends and transferring them into product and design concepts which can be seen in retail outlets around the world.

I have also been lucky enough to work closely with clients such as Mercedes, Diageo, and John Lewis on projects such as magazines, packaging, launch brochures and marketing collateral, advertising, corporate identities and branding, film show reels and presentations.

I pride myself on my project management and organisation skills. My current role can see me juggling four or five jobs at a time, together with managing print work and third party suppliers.

My diverse and creative background has given me a firm grounding in all media channels, such as design, print, web and film. I am a highly motivated person with a passion for design, print and communication.
