A brief history

Where it all began

Clutching my BA in graphic design (as if it was my golden ticket to a new life) I moved to London. My first rung on the ladder was at Redwood BBDO. Following that I was contracted to work on projects like brand development for asos.com and concept development for Arcadia group.

Never work with friends they said...

Entrepreneurial spirit led to the creation of Stadium Creative – a boutique agency in Hackney Wick, London. I co-ran Stadium with an old friend from my Redwood days. We created brand identities and websites for charity and retail sectors.

The great escape

7 Years of metropolis madness was enough for me. I moved back west, close to old friends, family, and fresh air. I wasn't quite sure where I wanted to take myself professionally so I packed a big bag and wandered off into the Pyrenees Mountains.

Adopting a team

On my return I was contracted by brand and design agency Bravedog. Nick (MD) and I worked well together, and so I joined Bravedog as Creative Director. I put my soul into inspiring the team to work collaboratively and achieve the exceptional.

A new fishing empire?

Despite never having fished a day in my life I co-founded fishingticket.com, an online booking system for fisheries. In just 2 years we've attracted over 6000 registered users, hired our first employee and sold over 15,000 tickets.

2020

I now work independently on select projects for businesses of all sizes. I work as a specialist within wider teams. I also pull together trusted experts to collaborate on large-scale projects.
