I'm an experienced creative director and have led brand identity and communications projects for a variety of public and private sector organisations including: Arts Council England, BBC, D&AD, Design Council, Jellyfish Pictures, Logicor, Nesta, University of Sussex and Virgin Media. Recently I have led branding projects for the Ashmolean Museum, Tullie Museum and refugee charity Amna. 

I have years of experience in project planning and leadership, scheduling, budgeting, writing creative briefs, creating brand strategies, naming, developing creative concepts and creative direction through out the design process. I have produced projects for both digital and print applications, as well as packaging, signage and environments. 
My work has been featured in the D&AD Awards, Design Week Awards, DBA Design Effectiveness Awards and Graphis.
My career began as a junior designer at Lippa Pearce (now part of Pentagram). After three years designing brands and packaging, I went freelance and worked for various top London design consultancies, even including a six month stint in a large West End ad agency. One of my freelance positions was with Blast. I loved it and soon joined full-time, becoming a director alongside Blast's founder.

Over the years at Blast I have enjoyed working with some incredible designers and clients. However, having decided I wanted a change I have now started a new design consultancy called Rounded
Focusing on the not-for-profit, education and cultural sectors, our goal is to work with inspiring organisations with shared values, producing great work that helps create positive social impact. ​​​​​​​
