A Creative Art Director, with ten years experience, I command a wide range of skills across digital and print. As well as being a confident creative I am also a calming, patient and nurturing leader when managing others. I consider myself to be a positive, open minded creative and a alternative thinker.
Projects
- Protect Our Winters x SurfdomeWith sustainability at it’s heart, I devised, art-directed, created and executed, this collaboration with a charitable organisation for Surfdome.com. It required the management of wonderful team of people, including industry legends to come together to make this happen. Culminating in a event taking place in Shoreditch, London, an evening was held for Press and other industry, showcasing the short film I directed, along with a photography exhibition of the expedition itself.
