A Creative specialist in:

Conceptualization

Multi-channel &
Pushing the envelope…
It all began when I discovered my enjoyment of manipulating basic graphic elements on a computer while in secondary school. This sparked my taste for creative freedom, which ultimately led me to pursue a Bachelor's degree in Graphic Design at one of the most renowned Arts College in London.
Since then, I have accumulated over 10 years of experience in the industry, working in various settings; including agencies, in-house environments, and with clients ranging from small businesses to large corporations that involve a wider and varied range of stakeholders. I have also worked in a range of disciplines which sets me apart from a lot of designers but have found that my strengths particularly lie in leadership, creativity, and branding.
To me, design is NOT just about creating a ‘nice’ poster or a logo…
it's about understanding the bigger picture and achieving results that benefit the business or fulfill the brief. I strive to add significant value through great and meaningful design, while also elevating my fellow creatives and the people I collaborate with.
Right now, I am currently a Creative Design Manager for the Currys Group and iD Mobile - managing a small team of 3. Simply put, I oversee all designs from my team ensuring they are best-in-class creatively within the brand guidelines, whilst being more client-facing with the brief owners and stakeholders in the business discussing designs, processes, and expectations.
