CREATIVE CONCEPTS,
DESIGN & ILLUSTRATION.
Or more succinctly; Art Director.
With 5 years of agency experience in London working as an Art Director in an Art Director + Copywriter Creative Team, I packed my bags and came over to Vancouver (without Copywriter).
Why? To be closer to mountains, the sea, the beaches - the skiing, biking, hiking, camping and everything else that this awesome city has to offer. I'm currently freelancing and loving it here.
I like to think of myself as an all-round creative. I particularly enjoy developing ideas (and doodling), but in general it's creative problem solving that gets me ticking.
CONCEPTS
I'm in my element with a pad, sharpie and a big wall to stick ideas to. Part of this for me is exploring the creative strategy, which I like getting stuck into.
ILLUSTRATION
I draw freehand and work my illustrations up in Photoshop/Illustrator. Usually, they're fun, colourful and quirky, as you'll see in examples throughout my site.
EXPERIENCE
London
DLKW, WARL, VCCP, Kitty.
Vancouver
The Greenhouse, Immersion, The Godstone Brewers.
PEOPLE SAY...
That I'm a 'great bloke', a 'good lad', and a 'nice chap'.
Read such insights and more on my LinkedIn.
DESIGN
I enjoy seeing work through from concept to execution - it's what attracted me to study Graphic Design in the first place.
I work with Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign, whilst I'm also self taught in the basics of web design.
SOFTWARE
Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign.
Mac/PC, Google Slides, Keynote, Microsoft Office.
Basic knowledge of HTML, CSS, Sketch, InVision, Dreamweaver, Dimension.
I BELIEVE...
That whether talking in a one to one conversation, or a mass campaign, it's nice to be nice.
