To be honest with you, I won't be right for everyone, but let me explain why. After 20 years as an Art Director and Creative Director for some of London's top ad agencies, I made a switch to become a firefighter. Not in a media buzz word sense. An actual one. It wasn't that I’d falling out of love with the creative industries (far from it) it was just an itch that I needed to scratch, and if you aren't brave enough to try new things, then i'd be betraying who I am as a designer and as a person. Previously I’ve won some awards and worked on brands such as Honda, Cadbury, O2, White Claw, BBC and many more. Now I’m mainly applying my skills and experience to smaller businesses like Yorkshire Sea Salt Co. Now as a shift worker, I do have to work around fire fighting and that’s why I won't be for everyone. But if you appreciate honesty and graft, we should talk. Loststudio.co
