About
I’m an Executive Creative Director with over 25 years of experience building brands people connect with. My work spans brand, spatial, digital, art direction and storytelling, often in combination, delivering ideas across identity, interiors, campaigns, content, products and experiences. I work from four pillars: Soul, Substance, Story and Strategy. They shape work that connects emotionally, performs commercially and endures. I design with cultural awareness and emotional intelligence, believing the strongest brands are built with care. I lead projects that are strategically sharp and creatively generous, creating work that earns attention and delivers results. I’ve grown revenues, expanded client partnerships and repositioned studios, while directing creative for brands including Nike, Apple, TK Maxx, Belstaff, Hilton and Sweaty Betty. I’m as comfortable shaping a brand’s voice as I am directing a shoot or reimagining a flagship experience. I know how to guide creative vision and align it with business growth. Along the way I’ve won D&AD awards, been published, mentored emerging talent and helped brands expand into new markets. The real win is always the same: work that feels human and makes a difference. That’s the kind of work I create. And the kind of team I build.
