I create beautiful, inspirational, award - winning content for brands including Eurostar, Jaguar Land Rover, Mandarin Oriental and Nikon as well as new business pitches.
My role includes day-to-day design and art direction, I'm often on location, I manage teams of designers and art directors across the brands to encourage a richer, deeper design aesthetic across my portfolio. Previous clients have included British Airways and London Business School.
Prior to joining Cedar as an art director, I was part of the design team for the NME, and also worked for Arena, Elle, Total Film, Mojo and Q.
I work collaboratively with insight and strategy teams, editors, commercial teams, production, senior management and clients as well as commissioning videographers, animators, editors, photographers and illustrators.
I work to meet every brief on time, on budget and with work that I’m proud to put my name to.
