For every problem there’s a creative solution

View Resume

With over two decades of experience in branding, digital and print design, marketing and visual storytelling, l love bringing ideas to life, building thoughtful brands and creating work that connects with people.

A creative leader across advertising and marketing, specialising in brand identities and integrated campaigns across digital, print and broadcast. I bring a strategic, brand-first approach to every brief, carrying projects from pitch through to production.

I believe the best creative leaders stay close to the work. Rather than simply overseeing projects so, I stay hands-on, working with teams to push ideas further. With a strong creative instinct, I’ve led creative departments, mentored designers at every career stage and collected industry awards along the way.
