About.
I believe the best ideas thrive when creativity and innovation align. I value collaboration, trust and responsibility that comes with inclusivity and authenticity.
My leadership spans London, New York, and Detroit, where I’ve discovered and nurtured talent, unified creative cultures, and amplified diverse voices to deliver stronger, more impactful work.
On 2 continents, in 3 cities and for 4 networks I’ve collected lions, arrows, and pencils with Leo Burnett, JWT, Ammirati and Y&R, and have been rewarded in more ways than one for my work on Rolex. I have been vetted by the late HRH Queen Elizabeth’s agents, positively, and I have her seal to prove it.
I don’t think my world has changed much, it has always been based on strategic thinking, UX/UI, art direction, photography, typography, design and film.
