「´‿`」

I’ve always been in the creative industries - graduating from university with a BA in fine art painting and illustration, and after finding my inner Picasso, I was selected for the legendary Watford College ad course.

Here I honed my art direction and strategic creative thinking before placements at Dye Holloway Murray, JWT, RYCR/Y&R and a first job at McCann London for 3 years. I then held a permanent residency in the halls of VCCP for 8 years, working on Cadbury, O2, EasyJet, More Th>n, KIA, Coors Light, Lynx, Shell & Cono Sur wines. After, I joined Kindred Group as the Lead Senior Creative to work across their 12 gaming brands including Unibet, 32Red and Vlad Cazino.

As an ACD I worked at Haygarth on their portfolio of brands, before working as a Freelance Creative Director.

I have over 16 years experience, both agency and in-house including: Integrated conceptual creativity, Creative Direction, stills, set, shoot & art direction in TV, Print, Film, Website, OOH, DOOH, Experiential & Social campaigns. I am also experienced in Adobe CS: Photoshop/ Illustrator/ InDesign & can visualise lifestyle or product campaigns using the latest AI tools.
