- Anthony NolanAnthony Nolan tasked us with driving financial donations. First, we had to create a brand platform for the charity. We found this in 'Without you there is no cure'. Next, we launched 'Without You'. A story about a young woman looking for someone special. We knew that before people would care enough to support the charity, they first had to understand what Anthony Nolan do. Their work is a very intricate process. Finding a simple way to communicate this led us to the kind of ‘match’ everyone un
- ŠKODAMOT Yourself is an idea we pitched to ŠKODA in 2017. A partnership with cancer activist Errol McKellar. If detected early, prostate cancer has a 98% cure rate. But it’s killing over 11,000 UK men every single year. The problem? Men don't know that they have it. Men don’t visit the doctor as often as they should and prostate cancer shows no symptoms until it’s too late. Due to its aggressive nature, this can be within a year. To truly take-down prostate cancer, ŠKODA and Errol had to ensure a

Work history
Creative Art DirectorDrum
London, United KingdomFull Time
I started my journey at Drum with Elliott Starr under Monty Verdi and now Claire Baker. So far, I've been combining my traditional ad skills with a new world of media partnerships. I regularly present to clients, lead on projects and see placement teams. My last piece of work with my creative partner was a brand platform idea and campaign for Anthony Nolan, a step closer again to my mission*. But the mission still continues, as a solo creative.

Creative Art DirectorFallon
- London, United KingdomFull Time
Here I worked on big brands such as Expedia, Cadburys and SKODA. Under Nick Bell I started to create less traditional work and instead looked to create initiatives such as the Real Test drive. Once again my mission* was ever closer as myself and Elliott Starr concepted the award winning idea Tour des Femmes (which was later executed by the team at Fallon, after we left). Here I also lead on a pitch for Body Shop, honing my presentation skills and how to take a big idea into store.
