About Me

I have had many rich and varied experiences; training as a product designer before starting a career in special effects and then moving into Above the Line Advertising, where I specialised primarily in TV commercials.

 

Moving from this into Experiential Marketing in 2002, allowed me to find an outlet for all of these talents.

I have designed and overseen installation of pop-up, semi-permanent and permanent installations from the Sky Skills Studio education facility at Sky HQ, the O2 Blue room at the O2 Arena, and numerous B2C engagements.

 

With the boundaries in experiential engagement blurring between the physical, digital and virtual worlds, I am currently training myself in interactive environmental VR design and have created passive (flythrough) and interactive demos.

 

I have been Creative Director/Head 
for numerous top experiential agencies, in a freelance or more permanent role and now consider myself to be an innovative ideas man, a good visualiser for those ideas and a darn good presenter, when it comes to selling in those ideas.
