I'm an Art Director with a passion for problem solving, I have a natural overflow of ideas that usually form visually.
​
I'm looking for as much experience as possible so I'm open to any book crits, placements or jobs.
I have a first honours degree in creative advertising from Buckinghamshire New University.
​
I've had a range of placements and workshops from the following agency's:
​
Adam and Eve DDB
BBH
Creature
Ogilvy
Kindred
Brooklyn brothers
Cubo
​
Other courses:
Art direction Masterclass- Alex Taylor
Creative Detox - Mandy Wheeler
Strategy Masterclass- Anthony Tasgal
Theatre Workshop. - Gemskii
When I was younger I always noticed the difference between a good ad and a bad ad. The bad ones would be for some miracle diet pills that everyone ignores on the underground. BUT the good ones would be imitated in the playground (*cough* Cadburys eyebrow wiggles). I grew up and realised that I can be employed for my creative thinking and ideas - something they never taught me in school.
I want to make exciting ads that change the way we perceive advertising, because as much as people say they hate advertising- they only ignore the boring stuff.
​
Moving to London in the height of a pandemic was perhaps not the wisest move. But one way I coped was taking up rollerskating.
I bought some quads and joined the online skating community to find likeminded people. I learned to use my social media to the full extent and gained the perspective of a content provider rather than just a consumer. I regularly made reels and TikToks as well as engaging with other content creators.
