About

I’m a brand creative director with 25 years industry experience working for fashion and lifestyle brands, with more than 10 years experience leading multi-disciplinary creative teams, ranging in size from ten to more than forty. I love leading, mentoring and helping individuals deliver meaningful work that resonates with the target audience across all channels. I’m passionate about enabling creatives of all levels to work with a sense of autonomy, allowing them to grow and develop into confident and skilled individuals. Above all I believe in order to do great work creatives must enjoy what they do. I always aim to foster and positive culture in which teams thrive. I am an experienced photographic and film director working both on location and in-studio. With a background in graphic design I am an advanced user of Adobe Creative Cloud: InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects, Acrobat and Premier Pro.
