A former rock and roll enthusiast turned advertising sellout. After trading my bass guitar for a wacom tablet, I found my creative outlet as an art director in the entertainment and advertising industries. Over the course of my career I’ve been lucky enough to work with big clients and win some nice awards, though none will compare to the West Glamorgan Youth Football League title I won in 2002.
I have picked up multiple awards at major international shows including Cannes Lions, One Show, D&AD, D&AD Impact, Clio, Clio Health, LIA, Dubai Lynx and The Loeries for campaigns across multiple sectors including traditional, entertainment and health.
In 2019 I helped Impact BBDO deliver the region's first Cannes Grand Prix alongside Network and Agency of the Year titles at Dubai Lynx, becoming the 8th most awarded agency in the world.
I was ranked as the top associate creative director in MENA and the 8th most awarded creative director globally in The World Creative Rankings 2020.
