Do you require excellent concepts?

As a creative director I bring a wealth of brand experience and understand the importance of delivering a clear message across a multitude of media. I have worked with teams appointed for particular projects as well as managed and worked with in-house teams. I am a great motivator with good interpersonal skills.

I have a strong passion for coming up with the big idea and relish being involved right from the start.

About me:

I graduated from the University of Wolverhampton in 1992 with an honours degree in Visual Communications, then started work as a junior designer at Expression; a design consultancy in London working with clients such as Rank, PolyGram, Film Four International, SmithKline Beecham and Wellcome. After 5 years I progressed to senior designer and moved to klm, a marketing agency in Birmingham working with Barclays, Reebok and Sky TV. I moved to Madison Design within a year as creative director, working with retail clients like Marks and Spencer, then in 1999 I moved to EuroRSCG where my clients included Buckinghamshire Chilterns University College, Alliance and Leicester, University of Lincoln and Centre Parcs. Five years later I decided to set up on my own.

Currently based between Nottingham and Lincoln but work quite a bit in London (reliable train service from Newark to Kings Cross), though happy to travel anywhere when required.
