What’s your story?
Born in South East London I grew up with a love for sports, entertainment and ancient history. Being a restlessly curious person I needed to experience all these areas. So I studied Classics at KCL, started my career in music marketing and licensing, moved across into film distribution and now am enjoying the world of branding.

What are you working on right now?
Naming a building, which is pretty cool.

“Any medium that requires creativity out of nothing, and is made to inspire connection and conversation will change the world.”

Describe your working style in 3 words.
Adapt, overcome & relax.

‍

Tell us about some of your interests. What are you into?
Very much into my sports, in particular, football, rugby and F1 and try to get to live games and races when possible as well as playing. I have a deep-rooted love for music spanning all genres, also dabbling on the side composing a few pieces. A passion for tv and film has led me to pursue script writing in my own time, along with voiceovers (random, I know).

Do you think design can change the world? How?
Any medium that requires creativity out of nothing, and is made to inspire connection and conversation will change the world.

What’s the last song you listened to?
NF – The Search…(was really Howard Shore – Lighting of the Beacons but gotta be cool, right).

Why do you do what you do? What motivates you?
It’s creative, challenges the imagination and gives a feeling of accomplishment.

Effortless, useful and never done before.
