I am an experienced Creative Director and design advocate. I work with teams, other agencies and brands. Driven by an inquisitive and experimental spirit. My work is rooted in traditional techniques and a DIY ethos, blending digital elements with analog methods to craft captivating visuals and compelling narratives. A colleague said that when they gave me a project, I always returned with results that were better than they expected. I draw inspiration from culture, music, art, and printed ephemera, and these influences shape and intersect with my design approach. I like to approach each project with an open mind, and aim to bring innovation and continuous improvement to every endeavor.In the past I have worked within entertainment at Warner Music, publishing with Penguin Random House and branding strategies with Marantz. My freelance work has been varied and cross-disciplinary.Originally from the UK, I am now California based.I have received press and accolades from Wallpaper, Design Milk, Forbes, Sound and Vision, Culturedeluxe, A Year In The Country, DoctorWhoTV, Hard Format, and Tor.com.My music design work is archived in the British Library and my illustrations were exhibited in fashion icon Paul Smith’s shop. I mentor through the site 'Talk To A Creative Director' and in the past have given talks and workshops on my design and process.
