04 ABOUT ME
JUST A LITTLE BIT, I PROMISE
I love everything about being creative, playing with challenging concepts, and turning them into a piece of art that I can feel
proud of, plus having had the privilege and great pleasure
to work on some truly outstanding accounts in my career so far.
​
Originally from London, I have been living and working in this wonderful city of Sydney, since 2007. In that time I have
managed to have the honour of winning a few design awards,
for which I am very grateful.
​
I can work independently or in a team environment, I have
enjoyed working as a team leader, where I had the opportunity to mentor and help other designers and juniors with my experience. Luckily I'm obsessed with staying organized and trying to make not just my own life a little easier, but everyone else life easier too.
​
When I'm not at work I'm in denial about believing in fanciful
ideas that Arsenal football club, can win the Premiership title
or at least string a few wins together now and again?
Please feel free to reach out if you suffer this same affliction and you may require some emotional support or advice
regarding this?
​
Thank you
