I am an award-winning creative with over 12 years of experience in or with some of the best shops around the region, and working on some of the biggest brands there are.

A true "Jack of all Trades" creative, I love to be involved in every step of the process; from sketching out ideas, planning and directing photo-shoots, asking programmers "please help me make this work!", to building the tightest layouts around. I may even write that great headline you were looking for.

I am currently looking for freelance and contract opportunities, or maybe even my new forever home. Here's to producing great work, and embracing every challenge to getting it done. Cheers.
