Creative Director

1996 - Present
Corporate Culture GroupJoined as a designer and now hold the Creative Director role. I’ve seen the company transform in terms of the work, clients and ownership and therefore picked up a broad range of skills along the way. In terms of design I’ve continued to focus on branding but expanded into areas such as retail, environment, signage, campaigns, digital, and animation. As creative director I also have responsibility for the creative output and direction of the company, winning business and managing the creative team. Over the years we’ve had the pleasure of working for some really nice client, a few of these include Marks and Spencer, NHS, Royal Mail Group, Coutts, Microsoft, The Co-op, Astra Zeneca, Unilever, WWF, I could go on!

Three former designers from Bass Riley joined forces and offered me the job of designer. Really enjoyable experience working in a small, very creative company. I continued to work for similar clients and added 3D design to my set of skills. Three former designers from Bass Riley joined forces and offered me the job of designer.
