Selected Work

Every project here started as a conversation between a problem and a possibility. A few are under NDA, reach out for the full story.

I've roots in the UK and a journey that's taken me across Hong Kong, San Francisco, LA, NYC, and now Seattle. That range shows up in the work, different contexts, different cultures, a perspective that doesn't default to the obvious answer.

If you're building something that hasn't been built before, let's talk.

Skills:

  • Helping teams think bigger than the brief
  • Building design ops that actually make shipping easier
  • Campaigns that work across every channel, not just the pretty ones
  • Copy that sounds like a human wrote it, because one did
  • Earned media and stunts people still talk about
  • Stories that make stakeholders change their minds
  • Presentations that move things forward, not just recap them
  • Charm, wit, and a touch of magic, 24/7
