I am a self taught multi disciplinary designer and art director currently at Foxtrot Papa and holding the position of Senior Art Director. I pride myself on being honest, reliable and hard working but with a creative flair that extends across a variety of disciplines, but with particular emphasis on branding, print design, digital design and photography and film art direction.
Starting at Foxtrot Papa as a Junior Designer I feel my progress to Senior Art Director within 5 years at Foxtrot Papa demonstrates a drive and high level of skill as an all round designer and art director in creating beautiful work. While beautiful work is fundamental, the key for me in my current role is being able to apply it to a wider system and having a deep knowledge of a brand as a whole, something I have strived for with all my work and have had great success with a range of clients, especially Jaguar and Land Rover.
As I have become more senior I have embraced changing job requirements, from liaising with clients and board level senior management on a regular basis to overseeing the development of the design team by helping them to create stunning work and grow by offering creative guidance and advice, something that I am most proud of.
I love the studio environment, ideas, energy and collaboration and within this I have always encouraged a culture of innovation. For me it is essential to be able to offer something new and exciting and has been a driving force in all the work I produce. I have maintained strong relationships with clients by striving to be ahead of the game and encouraging my team to do the same.
