'I began my London career at Identica working on brands such as Johnnie Walker & Russian Standard.

Under the creative direction of Franco Bonadio & Michael Peters I developed as a Designer in a highly creative environment with work primarily in the brand world, packaging and retail activation.

After a move to Bloom in 2012 I continued to work on FMCG and drinks brands such with clients such as Mondeléz Int., General Mills & Diageo. Following on from there I took the plunge into the world of freelance where I developed as senior Designer into a design director. It was then in 2014 I decided to start Carrousel, a small design studio that specialised in packaging and branding that activated premium and luxury goods across global markets.

Leading a core team, I provided directional creative support, from briefing to delivery. Acting as a hands on Creative Director.
In addition I worked directly on the strategy, brand positioning, design and art direction as well as managing client expectations in the creative development of a number of successful brands within the fields of food/beverage, entertainment and beauty.’
