I am a freelance creative director helping brands and organisations craft engaging stories. An award-winning creative, with over 30 years of industry experience. I’ve created content across print, digital, animation, video, social and just about everything else in between. I’m a strategic thinker, with clarity of mind, who’s good at joining the dots. I’m passionate, but not precious, and am happy to get my design hands dirty, or provide leadership, direction and inspiration.
