Years active
2012 - present
Led branding, digital, and campaign work for global clients such as Universal Music, Lego, The FA, eBay, Konica Minolta, and hosting.com.
Bringing together strategic thinking and hands-on execution allows me to manage a project from initial art direction and copywriting to development and final output.
A keen technical mind. I work closely with developers and cross functional teams to deliver high end solutions, focusing on detail and overcoming oversights.
Comfortable taking briefs, presenting to senior stakeholders, and managing client feedback across departments.
Extensive experience in digital, motion, and 3D has helped extend projects across multiple channels, adding depth and value for clients.
Committed to mentoring junior team members, supporting their growth, and contributing to a positive, collaborative and fun studio culture.
