    My latest project that I’m proud of is the IKEA Sheffield Tour. This was part of a bigger above the line campaign, of which I handled the experiential side as the producer. We brought 16 different ideas to life in and around Sheffield to promote the new store. One of which got a lot of attention from all major advertising online mags and local coverage.
