I'm offering
Freelance Senior Creative, Comedy Writer and Commercials Director. What a lovely combination!
I see myself as a multi-disciplined creative, strong with idea origination, storytelling, copywriting, pitching, presenting and directing.
I've created award-winning campaigns for Virgin Trains (RIP), Tesco, Mattel, BBC Creative, UKTV, 4Creative and Hewlett Packard. Created a children's sketch show for Youtube and directed five short films for BBC Three as part of the 2021 BBC Laughs series.
I love responding to challenging briefs, pitching and collaborating with talented people to bring ideas to life.
