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
