About Me

Staying alert as much as possible and to not be distracted by life's drudgery. There is inspiration all around us all the time. To discover that uncut masterpiece and bring it to life... To be creative and to seek creative solutions every time... The world fascinates me most of the time... and frustrates me some of the time. I have immense experience in the Creative Design field covering print, digital and some TV. I am humble enough to work with new designers and can hold my place in a boardroom full of Company Directors to present new ideas. Most of all I look to new experiences.
