Profile
Born in St Ives, Cornwall, and now based in London, I grew up surrounded by the creative arts. With a strong love of creating I went on to study Visual Communication at Arts University Bournemouth coming away with a D&AD New Blood Pencil for Nationwide Glow and a D&AD New Blood Best in Show for my FMP Project Roam . After university I worked at various agencies, working for clients including Sky, XL Catlin and eBay, before joining SUITCASE Group in 2017.
I find creativity surrounds us everyday. It's everywhere, sometimes it’s hidden and the beautiful aspect about design and photography is exposing it. I love the idea that I’m part of that process of uncovering, be it branding, art direction, print, digital and photography. Having worked in a small agency with a fast pace I’ve had to learn multiple disciplines and find looking at all angles of the brief gives us the greatest vantage point to best solve the brief in whichever discipline we see fit.
