Initially freelancing for Tomorrow Associates, Alter Ego, 23 Red, i4 Communications, Barkers Advertising, The Workroom, Loewy, Sledge, Soukias Jones and Jones Knowles Ritchie.During that time I built up a direct client list including Asthma UK, Royal Society of Medicine, The Health Foundation, Community Links, IFC and Cordea Savills. This client base allowed me to concentrate on building a company.

This started out as a freelance opportunity but I joined shortly after as an associate director and Head of Design. Our client base was mainly drawn from the charity sector and included Amnesty, Medical Foundation, Alzheimer's Society, Whizz-Kidz, Ramblers' Assoc., YHA, Crisis, Royal Society of Medicine, British Heart Foundation and Emmaus.

For a back bedroom agency when it started, it had an impressive client list - Historic Royal Palaces, Hammerson, BAA and BAE Systems. In the early days, it was seat-of-your-pants stuff but very enjoyable. I left here to spread my wings and embark on a freelance career.

Clients included Abbey National, BAE Systems, Royal London Hospital and IBM. It was fun while it lasted but I left here to join my old boss, David Hughes, at his start-up consultancy, Alter Ego.

I served my apprenticeship at this CDP-owned consultancy. It was small but beautifully formed. It was bought by Newell & Sorrell during the recession of the early 90s.
