I’m a Group Creative Director / Executive Creative Director who’s spent a good chunk of my life making things with talented people on both sides of the Atlantic.
Along the way, I’ve worked with brands including Samsung, Taco Bell, Popeyes, Volkswagen, MINI, Land Rover, Jaguar, Smirnoff, Nike, Lexus and Ross. The work has picked up some awards too, which was nice.
Before all this, I designed futuristic drilling tools for the oil industry and climbed rocks competitively.
These days, when I’m not working, I’m usually riding a bike, riding a motorbike, disappearing somewhere outdoors, or thinking about something I probably don’t need to make.
I still have a thing for masks.
