My special talent is combining the traditional tools of words, images, graphics, video, animation and audio with interaction and digital technologies to create the most compelling 21st century products possible. My goal is not simply to add supplementary material to stories intended for one medium, but to “speak” fluently through all these media, combining them into a seamless and integrated flow. My expertise and extensive experience in graphic design, art and photo direction, UI / UX and interaction design, video, animation, journalism, documentary and music production allows me to work with confidence in all these disciplines. I try focus my efforts on audience engagement: an engaged audience rewards you with attention, and attention is crucial to the effective communication of information and ideas. Along with this I have a foundation of gritty business sensibilities which I picked up from my also extensive experience in business development, brands and marketing. I achieve my goals using a combination of creative vision, strategic thinking and leadership. I have been asked and paid to present my ideas and approach at the MPA and Folio conferences, London Design Week, The Norwegian Institute of Journalism, Deutsche-Pop University, NYU, Medill/Northwestern University and have been interviewed as part of an in-depth series of articles for UK design magazine Computer Arts Collection. I am a visionary creative and have produced a significant number of innovative and award winning products for a wide range of companies and clients.
Listed skills include Magazines, Photography, Creative Direction, Photo Direction, and 14 others.
