I'M A DESIGNER (EX-ART DIRECTOR*) WITH THE DRIVE OF A FREIGHT TRAIN IN LONDON.
I have a peculiar love for goats, IDLES and oats, but my true fascination lies in design. In one hand, I wield Adobe (PS, AI, ID) and occasionally Figma with the same ferocity as my warlock casting Eldritch Blasts. In the other, I've got AI tools - from image gen / manipulation to workflows (like Weavy). That said, I’ll never hesitate to pick up a pencil and go old school if that’s what the idea needs.
I want to craft designs that move people in a place where design isn't just luxury but a necessity and an integral part of the process. I also love it when ads aren't trying to be ads and are so nice, they’re worth stealing, often bridging the gap between art and advertising.
With nearly 4 years of agency experience, I’ve contributed to a wide range of projects, both conceptually and visually.
Feel free to check out my experience below, explore the golden plate, and get in touch.
*While I’m now a designer, I used to be an art director - which means I care just as much about the idea as the execution, and can contribute conceptually if needed.
What have I done?
2024 – present
Midweight Designer
Gravity Road
Here, I regularly take creative ownership of design across projects - from early exploration to final execution.
I've led design on multi-market campaigns and winning pitches.
Designed key visuals, crafted decks, templates, playbooks and made hundreds (probably) of social posts for Unilever.
I often present my design rationale both internally and externally and I constantly look out for ways to push beyond the brief.
I also work closely with other designers, creatives, strategists and producers, occasionally prep and attend shoots, and recently started sharing my midweight wisdom to a junior designer through live work, feedback and process.
2022 – 2024
Junior Art Director
Cravens
Another placement that quickly turned into a full-time job where I'm working on pitches, TV, digital and OOH, presenting both internally and externally, and grabbing any chance to design by the horns.
2024
Visual Identity short course
University of the Arts London
Learnt how to establish an identity across a variety of applications and broadened my perspective on the possibilities of style and format. I also explored the history of visual identity in-depth and created one as a practical assignment.
2022
Junior Art Director
GOOD Agency
A three-month placement where I explored visual identities, brainstormed concepts, mocked them up, and discovered my love for sweet potatoes.
2022
BA Creative Advertising
University of Lincoln
Fell in love with advertising. Finished with a first, whoop whoop. I also grew an impenetrable armour for accepting any feedback. Shoot me.
2021
Design Intern
UNiDAYS
Learnt I'm a sponge. Did work that actually went live! Started naming layers on Adobe.
Like I said above (but i really mean it)
I want to craft designs worth stealing.
