Who am I?



I’m a Creative Director / Designer specialising in Retail,

Branding, Advertising, Art Direction and Creative Strategy.

During my seventeen years working for award winning

agencies, and in-house for a major free-sports apparel

brand, I've travelled Europe and North America, creating

and collaborating with world class brands, athletes, assets,

agencies and influencers.



I've gained a wealth of experience creating campaigns

for clients such as Adidas, Reebok, The North Face, Ralph

Lauren, Bupa, NSPCC, Chester Zoo, Heineken and

British Triathlon.



I've delivered solutions to briefs ranging from creative

strategy, brand repositioning and multi-platform

campaigns to events, consumer journeys and global

retail tool-kits.



I have been an active Creative Director, not only

overseeing and steering projects but art directing,

concepting and designing.



Comfortable client facing, presenting and shaping

projects alongside clients has been a large part of my

most recent role.



I have also built up a strong network of experienced

and trusted professionals from photography and film

to prototyping and production.



And finally...



...I'm an avid triathlete! I'm not a strong swimmer, runner or

cyclist, so it seemed like the obvious choice!

I've been a snowboard instructor, I enjoy surfing, and I'm a

fair weather golfer. I love the outdoors and I spend a lot of

time in muddy fields at the crack of dawn with our Border

Collie Dillon.
