About

Design director, strategist and creative coder with more than 13 years experience working across branding and editorial design for digital and print. I have a passion for creating brands, which are both beautiful and impactful. Fundamentally I am a creative thinker and maker, I work from strategy to execution.

For me, design is a way of thinking and l always push the idea first. I currently direct a team of designers and developers, taught design at Shillington College for more than 2 years, acted as a consultant for multiple branding projects, have given talks and lectures most recently with Its Nice That and Nottingham design festival. I also worked as a mentor, judge and advisor for Design Week, Design Bridge Awards, among others.

My work has been featured in It’s Nice That, Lecture in Progress, Baseline, SiteInspire and Httpster. Aswell as being part ofthe most awarded design team at D&AD and Design Week awards.
