I have over 3O years’ experience as a commercial designer, including 20 as a freelance design consultant.

My work encompasses graphics and branded identity, products and packaging, websites, digital experiences, animation, music, film and 3D.

 

I live in Suffolk, England and graduated from University of Suffolk in 2016 with an MA in Arts Practice where my primary research centred around the evolution and impact of digital technology on our lives and culture, to look beyond websites, apps & SEO practice and consider trends, attitudes & interactions with technology, arts & social media, and how we as individuals & as a society integrate with it. This ongoing research feeds directly into, and informs my professional practice as a designer.

​

One of my first jobs was writing questions for international editions of Trivial Pursuit, and in 2015 I was Design Guru on Season 10 of The Apprentice (BBC/Freemantle). I am fortunate to have been awarded Designer of the Year (2000, EyeWire, Los Angeles - now part of Getty Images), and been design-lead on games that have won the Jeux d'Année in Paris and the New York and London Toy Fair 'Best game' on four occasions. In 2013 I was elected as a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts.

Aside from my commercial and fine arts practice, I also score music for film and documentary with a small team of composers and arrangers and I am a member of The Ivors Academy (formerly the British Association of Composers and Songwriters).

I'm married with four grown up children and we share our house with 10 Huskies, a piano and too many guitars.
