Career Summary

I have been working in a multi-discipline design field for the past 25 years amassing an international, premium portfolio. I have worked with companies leading their field in cutting edge design as well as "Blue Chip" corporates, Google, Sony, Cummins, KPMG, Lloyds of London, TKWB, BBC, CH4, Working Title, Aardman, Warner Bros. amongst others.

 

 

Starting on the front line I quickly grew to become Senior Lead or Design Director using my well honed conceptual and technical design skills to run projects from inception to full delivery.

 

With passion and dynamism, I look to collaborate with colleagues in the development and delivery of strong, effective design projects, creating new pathways for design and its relevance to a wider public audience.  

 

Drawing on my experience I seek to identify the best-fit solution with positive project value and comprehensive oversight to solid project management whilst retaining sensitivity to project integrity and ultimately client goals.  

 

I am based in Central London but am use to working portably in EMEA and the United States.

"My aims are to develop and improve personal and public interaction with design and support the evolution of an ever growing modern, future and retrospective design environment".

Education in Brief

I graduated from with an MA from the RCA in Sculpture & Fine Art with an additional two 1st class BA Honour Degrees from the London Institute of Art & Design.

During college I gained professional experience working on my own commercial projects as well as collaborations with my contemporaries and peers; Claes Oldenburg, Coosje Van Bruggen, Zahar Hadid, Antony Gormley, Gary Hume, Gillian Wearing and the Chapman brothers.
