ABOUT ME

So you’d like to know more?

A BIT OF BACKGROUND

What makes me tick…

I’m a self-confessed stickler for brand: faultless alignment, clean layouts, and considered typography are my thing. I never take my eye off the ball – essential when you’ve worked on the number of award winning creative agencies and clients that I have.

Some say I’m driven by an ‘OCD-like’ attention for detail. It’s certainly true that I’ll be the first person who notices when two bricks aren’t quite aligned properly. But this level of focus is not at the expense of creative flair. Given a Mac and a blank piece of paper I can design with the best of them.

I’ve also enjoyed a stint as a studio manager, so I’m an experienced link between the creative team and client services, keeping an agency running like a well-oiled machine. I know that running a studio presents daily challenges – and rewards – and it means that I can see every job from both sides of the fence.

My solid creative and production grounding has allowed me to not only continue to progress my own skills, but also to mentor, train and develop a successful department.
