I'm a brand designer and advertising creative driven by ideas. Big ones, brave ones and the ones that quietly but powerfully hit the mark. After three decades in the industry, I still approach every brief with the same curiosity and excitement I had at the start, focused on creating effective solutions that make real emotional connections with their audiences. I’m equally happy producing my own work (I’ve been using Adobe Illustrator, InDesign and Photoshop for over 25 years) or mentoring Junior Designers. I bring rigour, imagination and a love of the craft to every project, delivering work that works and helping to build better brands.
