About me
Freelance Art Director. Stylist. Editorial. Curation. My passion is to create super stuff for your eyes - sometimes pretty, sometimes thought-provoking, sometimes sublime, sometimes ridiculous. This could be when devising a full campaign concept, creating an image, renovating a house, styling products or interiors, applying a story to an image, or an image to a story - depicting the voice of a brand visually. In my opinion the conceptual root and project pragmatism required comes from the same place, and can be applied anywhere. Vogue magazine has brought me up and I am an avid consumer of aesthetics which make your pupils dilate, heart soar / sore and generally isn’t essential for life, but is totally essential for living. I love my pals, cars, dogs, headpieces, sunglasses, filing, attention to detail, the English language, world languages, cultures, respect, and the ‘I was supposed to pick up Carl’ meme.
