I am a natural disruptor, in the creative sense, in a world of fluff and faux creatives.
I started in the industry in a repro-house changing the bins, mounting drum scanners, making manual cromalin and bromide proofs and processing films.
In the last 20 years i’ve worked with a whose who in print and digital across the luxury, fashion, publishing and sports industries.
From branding and retouching, through to painting on walls. Motion graphics to video directing, live and experiential campaigns for start-ups or huge international brands, brand guidelines to visualising event space and creating brand strategy. Whether writing a brief or breaking a brief down and finding a solution print, digital or broadcast, I love collaborating and have a huge network of contacts to call on.
