With a background in Art and Photography, I am an Art Director who uses research to define considered visual concepts for the creative and retail industries. I produce high quality image and film content, develop visually memorable campaigns that highlight brand qualities and narratives, curate content and exhibitions, and form creative and commercial partnerships with talented artists and collaborators. I’ve been awarded for providing innovative solutions and proposing ideas that inspire others. I am able to work independently and also as part of a larger team, and have experience in the creative process — from idea creation, to budget management, through to production.
