I am the Head of Brand/Senior Art Director/Graphic Designer, leading the visual identity and art direction of campaigns across lifestyle categories, financial services, government, and health. I am the visual intelligence behind numerous large brand campaigns and brand identities. I bring a disciplined design sensibility to every project: rigorous about craft, fluent across OOH, digital, social, print, brand identity, packaging, and experiential, and equally at home working from a blank brief or refining a mature brand system. My work spans internationally awarded integrated campaigns and foundational brand builds for specialist brands. I have owned my own advertising/design business for 20 years, engaging with agencies and brands of varying size. I have managed every part of the process from concept to completion, originating as a Mac operator with the technical ability to back up the creative execution.
