A LITTLE BIT ABOUT ME

Let’s start with genetics. I’m half Cypriot and half Irish so vast amounts of raw passion, optimism and determination is in my blood. 

I’m a Senior Creative with a background in Art Direction and I love inspiring and nurturing young talent.
Creativity, craft and ideas have always been my passion and the past 18 years I have spent in this quite frankly mad industry, has gone by in a flash.

I’ve created campaigns on all kinds of global brands, from McDonald’s to Morrisons, Nescafé to the NHS, in every type of market, from fast food to pharma, cars to cats, and hotels to holidays. These 360 campaigns span from TV to Social, OOH to Press, Radio to Experiential. I see these campaigns all the way through from creative inception to launch which include; platform ideas, conceptual scripts, visualised storyboards, art directional look and feel and more.

Over the years I have worked with lots of talented people I can call upon from production companies, directors, photographers, retouchers, post-houses, sound engineers, talent, designers, illustrators, set-designers… I could go on.

I love working with and leading teams of likeminded people who have the same can-do attitude I have. I carry no ego, I’m a good listener and I get huge satisfaction out of my job.
