About me

Driven by experience living and working overseas I have developed an eye for unique concepts that capture and hook you in an instant. I decided to make the jump from the British Army, to the Oil & Gas industry, to Travel & Tourism, to Design. I’ve always been one to doodle/ photograph and recognise the value of a “brand” through film, music, and my surroundings, whether it be in East London or an overcrowded market in the Middle East. Once lockdown hit, it inspired me to create my own brand, “Hottori Hanzo” - marketing, designing, and selling it myself. I was hooked into the creative industry, and was inspired to pursue further skills. Design has distinctly broadened my horizons and allowed me to find my voice, and I can’t wait to see where my passion brings me next.
