THIS IS ME


ABOUT

I'm an award-winning Creative and Design Director with 22 years of experience developing global brands, leading creative teams and delivering impactful marketing and communications.

Combining hands-on design craft, conceptual thinking and strategic brand expertise, I've held senior roles at Howden, Gallagher and AXA.

At Howden, I've helped develop the brand internationally, including its US expansion, while leading a creative function of over 40 people.

My experience also spans consumer brands, technology and media, including co-founding Perthyn and developing it from concept to launch.

Passionate about challenging conventions and creating exceptional work” is fairly general. Your approach to constructive challenge, collaboration and design standards says more about you.
