About me

A UK born & based award winning creative designer with more than 20 years experience across industries and disciplines. My passion for design and all things creative stemmed from a love of creating something from nothing, producing something tangible that exceeds expectation. There is nothing I enjoy more than solving that problem posed by a good brief, that challenge keeps me invigorated and enthusiastic. I have the experience and ability to take a project and run with it, developing a tailored solution that excites the client and then executing with precision and clarity.
