Biography

To me, good digital design has to be functional, aesthetic, informative and individual.

Through my time as a creative director for a London agency and a digital design consultant for Ogilvy Action I have been afforded the opportunity to design and create sites utlising my passions of motion, 3D, illustration whilst constantly striving to obtain the maximum from the briefs I have been given. It is also this experience that has let me work with a variety of talented teams whose expertise has given me the knowledge of what is achievable in the field of digital design.

This fusion has become central to my way of approaching new work giving me the tools to push concepts and solutions further.

Always looking for new ideas and new challenges. It is not just a case of good visual design but the logic of navigating that design which I believe makes a site work.

Constantly striving to develop new ways of interacting with users, be it through new technologies or excellence in design.

A self-confessed perfectionist the detail is as important as the whole to ensure that everything meets a personal high standard.

With a background in business management and analysis I joined RARE to take over corporate responsibilities.

Having worked in a variety of different industries, public sector and central government in a number of different regions, both in Europe and Asia, I bring a rich range of management experience to the company.

With a passion for art & design I believe that getting the best out of the creative process requires getting the best from your time and your staff.
