A hands-on design leader with over 23 years experience in digital design. I've led design teams which have successfully delivered large transformational projects across a range of sectors, both agency and client-side. I have vast experience working in Financial Services, so am an expert at simplifying the complex. I work fast with an eye for detail. I'm seasoned enough to balance pragmatism with beautiful design. _Website not available. Sign in: https://www.twine.net/signup_ _Website not available.
