About me

I have worked above, through, and below-the-line as an award-winning London-based Art Director for blue-chip clients within almost every major media discipline that I think was ever invented. TV, outdoor, press, direct mail, digital, radio...I have experienced them all. I'm as passionate about the importance of the idea today as I was when I first began working in the advertising industry, and believe that in today's competitive, fragmented and busy market place, the power of the idea, whatever the medium, is crucial. Thank you for taking the time to look at my work.
