About me

I began my career as an Account Handler but my interest was in creative. I’ve translated my experiences into my role as a Creative Planner and Designer, where I take a marketing brief, come up with concepts on how creative should meet marketing objectives, and finally brief an agency or work on the creative myself. I’ve taught myself how to use Adobe and Blender 3D to produce creative for campaigns and ad hoc projects for Asda.

• Can anyone recommend any books, magazines or websites to learn design theory and anything an Art/Creative Director would need to know?

• Food to OrderWe didn't have a Food to Order lock-up but one was needed. I created a 3D render that could be used across print and online in various channels. I then used this lock-up on a full page Asda Magazine which highlighted what Food to Order was, and how it works. The lock-up was a concept I presented but wasn't used in the end.
