About me
For the past nine years I have rapidly been developing my ability to ideate and produce great visual communications. From creating posters for my band when I was 15 I have built up a wide range of skills across the creative spectrum including brand identity, editorial design, clothing, as well as conceptualisation and direction of globally distributed books and catalogues. My free time is usually spent engaging with music; something that has been a part of my creative process from the beginning. I produce my own music as well as playing sessions with guitar and drums.

    Working as an Art Director has given me invaluable experience working with photography and it’s application to editorial design in a role which required me to manage and delegate projects. This position also consisted of conceptualising photo-shoots and following through to the final layout design. This included client briefings, art directing photographers, photo retouching and editorial design. I also took on other projects such as re-branding the business and website, creating social media presence and attracting new business.
