A bit about me... I'm an experienced creative leader with deep strategic knowledge creating compelling B2B and B2C brand stories, multi-channel marketing, advertising, video and social campaigns, as well as events, branding and thought leadership projects for large international brands through to boutique small businesses in many specialist sectors. I closely follow the developing world of AI for support to create efficiencies and add value in tried and trusted creative processes.

I love the craft of design and creativity, so throughout the senior years of my career I've balanced leadership and management responsibilities with consciously remaining hands-on with design and video editing. This means I can easily jump from high-level ideation, strategy, and creative direction, to deep tactical execution whenever needed. This helps me lead by example and has proven to empower junior members to increased technical ability and confidence more quickly.

​

I have extensive leadership and management skills, using emotional intelligence to coach and mentor team members, while building agency, supplier and stakeholder relationships. I'm a confident presenter and use high influencing skills to achieve team and business goals, drive new business, and increase organisational profit.

​

I am endlessly curious and always bring an inquisitive spirit to my work. I think this helps to establish an environment where creative thinking can happen from everyone, not just those that have the word in their job title.

Outside of work I am married with two teenage daughters, and when not working I like to indulge in my passions of video and craft board games (and am currently designing my own game), DJing and electronic music production, mountain biking, and boxercise fitness training from my home office/gym.
