I create experiences, journeys, stories and things that matter to brands and audiences alike, to fulfil outcomes desired by all.
I'm an experienced multi-disciplinary creative 'slashy', with a focus on graphic design and brand consultancy. Years working in Europe, Asia and the US in design, branding, advertising, digital and marketing communications agencies has allowed me to develop skills as a creative project leader, problem solver, strategist, designer, art director, copywriter and product manager.
It's a scope of expertise I apply holistically and agnostically across channels, media and touch points to create joined-up products and experiences that realise strategic intent, from creative inception to the points of fulfilment and the journeys beyond, for B2B and B2C brands, from established global tech giants to entrepreneurial disruptive startups, to luxury goods and experiences.
It enables me to fulfil roles as an independent hands-on creative or consultant, business, product and creative team leader, both agency- and client-side – most recently as Head of UX Design for a US tech startup and as Creative Director for a new men's sexual health brand.
I love what I do. Collaborating with, learning from and nurturing talented people; a passion for the new; the next eureka moment; and my unshakeable belief in the power of the crafted design, word, action, image and feeling to move people.

In the end, this has motivated a rep
- Cornelia JamesGlove maker to the Queen throughout her reign and the absolute go-to for the world's top fashion stylists, Cornelia James needed to make the brand experience more accessible to new audiences and markets as it ventured into retail concessions and popups. Rather than stretch the core glove brand, it was evolved and repositioned as the epitome of the exceptional occasion, creating space for a new diffusion brand – Cornelia by Cornelia James – for accessories to make an occasion of every day. A fi
- BenRepositioning a charity as a not-for-profit organisation – by the people of the automotive industry, for the people of the automotive industry – paved the way for Ben to completely overhaul the way it engaged with its beneficiary and donor audiences, and restructure the delivery of its services. The beating heart of the new communication strategy, voice and visual language – designed to rally and engage the people who worked for Ben as much as the people they needed to reach – was the online tri
