‘The only constant in life is change’ – Greek philosopher Heraclitus

And that’s why I love what I do – everything changes, nothing stands still, every day is different, every client is different.

For more than 20 years, I’ve worked in the design industry for a broad range of clients across sport and leisure, FMCG, healthcare and utilities – on both agency and client sides. There’s nothing more rewarding than taking a brief, identifying the challenge or opportunity, discussing ideas with the team and presenting a great creative solution to excite a client and deliver effective results for them.

Outside of work, I love to be outdoors either walking in the woods, or playing tennis. When I’m indoors, you’ll either find me cooking in the kitchen or relaxing at a soundbath meditation. I also love nothing than more hopping on a plane and exploring other countries, learning about their cultures and sampling different food to get recipe ideas to try back home!
