About
I’m a London-based creative leader with over seventeen years of experience creating brands, campaigns, and visual identities. I partner closely with clients and stakeholders to turn ambitious ideas into distinctive, commercially effective creative work—balancing strategic thinking with strong design craft, typography, and brand storytelling.
Across agency, studio, and freelance roles, I’ve led end-to-end art direction across print and digital, including logo and visual system development, packaging, advertising campaigns, and production management. I’m especially drawn to the overlooked details that bring character to design—street typography, hand-painted signs, vintage objects, and photography—an approach shaped further by my volunteer work at St Francis Hospice.
