About me

I am all about generating and communicating ideas and love to conceptualise and think visually. I am a flexible problem solver and can't wait to get my teeth into the next design challenge. Confident working alone or in a team, eager to learn and happy to teach. With over a decade of experience in a wide range of creative environments my strength is my versatility, ability to adapt my style to each projects, attention to detail, maintaining high standards, while keeping within deadlines and budgets... Oh, and I am now a proud owner of a big ginger beard! (Every office should have one.)

Creative All Rounder
Aug 2004 - Mar 2015
I have been a creative freelancer since I left University. I have worked for animation production companies in London and Belgium as a scriptwriter. For publishers as a writer/illustrator of children's books. For music labels as a graphic designer and art worker. For a Russian oil company as an interactive presentation creator... I wear many hats, but above all else I love to come up with ideas and see them evolve and take shape into something tangible.
