About me

With over 20 years’ experience in the creative industry I now lead as a senior creative on projects that span design disciplines, delivering concepts, realisation, direction and management across communication design, framing brand stories in the most engaging way possible.

I have a background as a creative director for a number of agencies including BrandFuel, Action Impact and GPJ on live experience design and branding campaigns while managing and building creative teams, client relationships, business strategies and helping to develop agencies creative profiles and capabilities.

I have been lucky enough to work with some of the most amazing people -both within agencies and client side, with fellow designers and business owners to deliver some special projects... some even award-winning.

Collaborating with clients such as Google, Rolls-Royce, Orange, IBM, Twitter and UEFA, that luck extends to loving what I do and to continuing to enjoy being part of this competitive and thriving creative communications industry.

My family think I'm a bit mad about what I do too - and perhaps they're right - but I'm mad about them more! My most amazing wife Melanie and our 3 gorgeous young children keep me firmly on the ground in this mad cap word of deadlines, pitches and homework!
