About me
A quick slinger with ideas, very comfortable presenting them and most importantly the technical eye and imagination to bring them to life. Wether that's through design, illustration, photography or film. With over 11 years experience working in both Integrated and digital agencies, I have built stories through almost every platform from TV and outdoor to Youtube and Instagram, for VW, WWF, Oakley and many more.

  • The Face Shelving
    The Face ShelvingIn a world of minimalist, sleek design we have the habit of stripping the fun out of things. Life doesn’t always need to be so serious and neither should our furniture. So after a lot of sketching, we had some rough plans and a good father/son project later… the very originally named ‘Face-shelving’ was born.
  • Revive your Lunch-life
    Revive your Lunch-lifeA good, tasty, nutritious bowl of soup is often overlooked. You see, most people have no idea that New Covent Garden Soup have 27 different flavours. They’re healthy, they’re filling, they’re tasty and they’re really easy to prepare. Perfect for lunch. So some research was done and it showed that : People have just not realised how unremarkable their lunchtimes have become.
