Work Experience

Over 25 years professional design experience with several award winning top 25 UK design agencies in London and the South West at a senior level including creative director.

I have a can do and proactive attitude to every aspect of my work, from client facing to being adaptive and positive to changing situations and people. I believe that I have a strategic mind and understand the need to balance creativity and innovation with commercial reality.

Because I have project managed and account handled clients for many years I have the ability to manage and plan my own time well and within budget restraints. I maintain high levels of professionalism and creativity and believe I am perceptive, judicious and organised with a flexible approach to my work.

I have a good understanding of the commercial needs of my clients and regard myself as positive and professional with a right-first-time attitude. I have a wealth of relevant professional experience across many market sectors that demand high levels of client service and understanding of the needs of those businesses.

I plan and manage resources on behalf of clients which includes building relationships, negotiating best rates with suppliers and monitoring quality and value for money. I believe I have always maximised revenue streams through ensuring margins are protected and managing bought in costs and services.
