About me

Half of an integrated creative director team, working with Linda Elander. Together we bring our complementary skills to everything from big cross-platform advertising ideas to brand development. When I'm not working on ads, I enjoy watching movies, walking the dog and creating cartoon animals with amusing backstories.

• McDonald's & Roald DahlA bit of a departure from McDonald's usual style, but when you have the opportunity to bring the magic of Roald Dahl to life, this just felt right. We had a great team, a great client and we ended up with some great work.
