I got into advertising because I love ideas. Ideas that surprise, engage and sell.
I’ve created ideas for integrated campaigns, digital campaigns, social content, OOH, print, animation, TV, radio and for lots of pitches.
Many of those ideas were for clients of WCRS where I was lucky enough to win several major awards.
Recently, I’ve been hired to come up with lots more ideas by all kinds of different agencies from Adam & EveDDB to Publicis to Havas and many more.
My favourite idea? The next one.

Core skills:
I am an art director who can produce campaign ideas, headlines and scripts.
I scamp, storyboard and and create roughs in Photoshop and present in Keynote. (I have my own Mac laptop).
