About me
Award winning graphic designer. Since graduating from Central St Martins in 2005 – I've worked as a both a freelancer and within agencies. Spending the last 5 years at Lonelyleap film leading design & art direction across a range of branded content, film, animation and digital projects. Working on projects for the likes of Google, Nokia, Kew Gardens, BBC and The National Trust as well as independent development projects. I was awarded ‘App of Year’ Gold by the Society of Publication Designers for my work on Interactive Magazine 'Stipla'. Competing against Wired, National Geographic and New York Magazine. I co-created the magazine as part of small team. Outside of and before agency life I've also illustrated and made work for the likes of The Guardian, The Sunday Times, Carhartt, BBC, Red Bull & Esquire and exhibited at Rough Trade.
