  • Jan 2020 - Present

  Currently I have embarked on a new venture and launched a design agency. I wanted to gain a deep understanding of business, economics and pressures associated with running a company. The past 6 months have been invaluable and truly make an individual understand and time, money and resources. Bigfoot Inc has existed for over 15 years and the current owners invited me to become part of the business and explore new opportunities and to establish a new arm of the business Bigfoot Creative. Currently I am building a strong client base, pitching, presenting and encouraging brands to collaborate and trust Bigfoot Creative. The agency now specialises in building brands from the ground up, helping existing brands to redefine themselves and acting as brand guardian for established brands. The company as a whole now offers end to end production for all brand and design requirements.
