ABOUT ME

​

I have over 20 years’ experience working in content and digital businesses. My starting point has always been the same: focus on understanding the needs of the particular brand, business or audience, then create brand platforms, social content, activations or experiences that put people, not channels, first. 

​

Depending on the needs of the project I’m happy to work as a brand strategist, creative director, copywriter or script-writer. I can craft ideas myself, or keep clients and teams happy and focused as brilliant designers, editors, illustrators, photographers, film-directors and developers bring them to life.

​

Collaboration and trust, not ownership and control are important to me. I’ve worked alongside the best in the business from Wolff Olins to W+K, Cartidge Levene to Claydon Heely, DDB to Double G Studios. I know when to step in and when to step back and let people do their thing.

​

If you've got a box to put someone in, I’m probably not that person. But if you want to discuss how that box could be opened-up, improved upon, or just stacked better, you're in the right place.
