ABOUT

I’m a 26 year old Londoner living and working in Leamington Spa as an Art Director in the advertising agency Palmer Hargreaves (PH). I’ve been here since the early summer of 2010. I work on campaigns for some huge UK clients and some global clients too: Ford, Berghaus, Bayer, Mercedes-Benz and Land Rover to name a few. I have a lot of passion and enthusiasm for my work – and a lot of energy. I’m always learning and teaching myself new things every day. Before I started at PH I gained very valuable experience at some top London agencies, including Inferno and GREY.

I also still manage to fit in occasional freelance illustrations and have received commissions from magazines, a theatre, and an augmented reality company. I’ve also had my work showcased in several London exhibitions since graduating in 2008 with an Illustration degree (2.1) from Lincoln University. My illustration technique is stylised with fine detail, I work primarily with pen and ink then edit my images, particularly the colours and layout in Photoshop.
I’m very proficient with the Adobe Suite and I have designed and built my own website (twice). One of my clients was so impressed she persuaded me to create a website for her own start up business too.
