Available to hire
I don’t do average. I do work that wins awards, Michelin stars, lands in the World’s 50 Best Bars, and makes founders wonder how you nailed exactly what was in their head.
Fifteen years across London, Singapore, and Asia — from BrandOpus and JKR to running my own collective, Design Hungry. FMCG, hospitality, F&B, lifestyle. Coca-Cola to corner-shop startups. The brief doesn’t scare me; the mediocre result does.
If you’re looking for a Designer who leads without the fluff and delivers without the drama — I’d love to talk.
