About me
I am a Creative Director, Gamer, Data Nerd and Film Producer. A modern, multi-platform thinker, with an entrepreneurial approach to creativity matched with a passion to tell compelling stories.
My work is crafted, visually appealing, easy to share and fun. Thanks to a unique combination of insanely talented people, incredible opportunities and ambitious brands.
I have had the good fortune to work with:
Live events, brand experiential VR, AR and MR, feature film production,TV format development, publishing, mobile and console gaming development, software product design and brand communications. Agencies, start-ups and brands including HBO, Samsung, Nike, Mastercard, Google, Credit Suisse, Land Rover, Ford, Cancer Research, Dove, BMW, Red Bull, McLaren Automotive, British Airways, Vodafone, Jaguar and Audi,
These relationships have allowed me to create impactful, award winning and measurable experiences that engage and retain increasingly fragmented and ‘unreachable’ global audiences.
I’m always interested in new projects and opportunities.

'Flower and the Girl' is being hand crafted by the staggeringly talented Robin Heap, a true artist in every sense of the word. His meticulous attention to detail is culminating into something very special. I cant wait to move into post

- McLaren P1. Designed By AirAs you drive the P1, it’s body shifts to channel air flow for the best possible drive. The campaign kicked off with a film that teased the car before it’s launch.
