about
I’m a Creative Director, Writer & Strategist. I build brands that break rules, tell stories that shape culture, and occasionally direct a documentary or two.
For over a decade I’ve worked as a multidisciplinary creative – in-house, agency-side and freelance – always drawn to clients that dare to do different. I’m talking: authentically reaching subcultures, creating social impact, driving plant-based & sustainability innovations, or making down-right surreal post-branding nonsense.
I co-founded and directed a culture magazine which was featured in Netflix’s Sex Education; worked with the world’s most influential artists, museums and estates at The Skateroom; and am CD for one of the world’s biggest sports-for-development NGOs. I’ve also worked as a Writer, CD and Director for the long list of clients you’ll see on this page.
I’ll let the work speak for itself, so have a look around and if you see something you like, let’s talk. If only so I can stop writing about myself.
