Ranked 3rd in the Creativepool Top 25 influential and inspiring Executive Creative Directors- I started my creative career in the music industry, being signed to Manchester’s legendary “Factory Records” with my Band the Space Monkeys.
After this, I worked as a graphic designer, before pursuing a career in Broadcast Marketing, creating award winning advertising campaigns and branding at the BBC, UKTV and ITV, for iconic TV brands such as Doctor Who and Downton Abbey.
I've also worked on brand partnerships, direct to consumer and branded content with clients that include
M&S, Rolex, Facebook, BT and Sony Pictures.
I named and launched the SVOD service BritBox in the UK and was creative lead
on the launch and branding for the successful AVOD service, ITVX.
I was Executive Creative Director of ITV’s in-house advertising agency ITV Creative for 10 years, where I wrote and produced multi-platform, integrated campaigns for the business, devised creative strategy, led and inspired the creative team and the brand and design team.
I'm currently Head of Creative for Audiences and Commercial at the Royal Opera House, leading the creative team, working on advertising campaigns and strategy for some of the world's greatest Opera and Ballet productions and creating content for brand partnerships.
I’ve won every award this game gives and through it learnt that the real gold comes from the work and the fun you have with it.
I’ve talked creativity to packed houses across Europe and bored a lot of people at parties with it too.
I'm an artist, a writer, a designer and a musician.
I’ve a head packed full of ideas and experience but I've never stopped learning.

I live it and I love it.
