About
I am a passionate and loyal fella who thoroughly enjoys every aspect of design. I have over 5 years experience in both large and boutique agencies, working in a wide range of sectors, including automobile, FMCG, ecommerse, film, housing and sports, over a range of projects spanning campaign, big brand brochure sites and ecommerce platforms.
I am at my happiest working in a mixed discipline team, solving problems using the latest technology and design thinking. i stay abreast of latest award winning work, and strive to create it where projects allow. I’m comfortable working in both agile and waterfall.
So far in my career I have been fortunate enough to work with some big brands including Pizza Hut, Hyundai, Unite Group, Europcar, ebay, Find Any Film, Wagamama, Tenpin and many others. More recently I have been working on e-commerce brands Prestige, Circulon and the Nottingham Forest FC shop.
Working with likeminded creative people, learning and sharing new ideas or just videos of baby monkeys riding on pigs, creates the perfect environment for me to thrive. -
