About
I’m a hands-on Creative Lead with over two decades of experience bringing ideas to life for global brands. Whether it’s building a full visual identity, creating a marketing campaign that actually gets noticed, or turning a complex concept into a story people want to hear, that’s my sweet spot.
I’ve worked across both B2B and B2C, leading creative projects from the first spark of an idea right through to delivery, always keeping things on brand, on time, and genuinely engaging. I’m comfortable setting the creative vision as well as rolling up my sleeves and jumping into Photoshop, Premiere Pro, or Figma to make it happen.
