For more than 25 years, I’ve been lucky enough to have worked with numerous brands creating a wide range of experiences. In that time, I’ve built and led large creative and delivery teams, including the roles of branding, UX, content creation, production, development and analytics.

Over the years I have developed a love for building brands, finding new ways to work, and innovating to create work for my clients’ consumers. It’s an exciting time to be a creative! The needs and requirements for great work are changing at a rapid pace, encompassing equal parts art and science.

I’ve worked inside several agencies and owned my own and now am excited to have returned to being an independent consultant. It’s an amazing model that gives me the freedom to work with a range of collaborators and internal teams to do great work.
