I love a good idea.
At heart I’m an integrated producer that wants to make every job as good as it possibly can be. Ideally leaving everyone with the warm glow that comes from a successful commercial collaboration. I firmly believe that a kind environment breeds success. In permanent roles I have run departments or worked as a source of knowledge if not wisdom!
I’m media neutral but from a stills background. Whilst unlikely to be making the next John Lewis Xmas ad, I know a lot of people to call who can. Often, I work on mixed media projects as I’ve always loved learning new skills and seeing how an idea works in different mediums. Combining projection mapping and lidar scanning for some VW films or working on an experiential job for the Highways Agency. Key to it all is contacts with some amazing talent across the UK and further afield.
Having been lucky enough to work on a lot of award winning work, I’ve also judged numerous awards including D&AD, Campaign Photo, PDN New York, AOP, Rangefinder, AOI. I’m currently on the board of the Association of Illustrators and have also worked with the Association of Photographers. I’m most proud that over fifty ads I’ve worked on are in the collection of the V&A, which means my mum knows what I do for a living.
My other labour of love is curating a website with stories from around the UK: thecoracle.com
In recent years I have also spent some time volunteering at a museum of cultural enterprise on the island of Rarotonga in the Pacific, a heritage/community centre in Spitalfields run by the architecture collective Assemble and a remote stalking estate deep in the wilds of Scotland.
