Profile
Born in St Ives, Cornwall, and now based in London, I grew up surrounded by the creative arts. With nearly 9 years of experience, I’ve had the opportunity to work across a wide range of disciplines, from branding and art direction to print, digital, and photography. I believe creativity is all around us, sometimes hidden, and my passion lies in uncovering and showcasing it through design and imagery.
Over the years, I’ve worked in fast-paced environments, which taught me to approach briefs from multiple angles, ensuring the best solutions across various mediums. My journey in the luxury travel industry, particularly as an Art Director, Designer, and Photographer, has allowed me to lead and collaborate on incredible projects with other talented creatives.
Most recently, I served as the Creative Lead for Aman Hotels and Resorts, where I was responsible for developing a world-class creative production house, pushing the brand’s aesthetic boundaries, and maintaining excellence across all projects.
