Work Background

SixDesign Director

Mar. 2010 - Dec. 2012Concept generation, art direction and graphic design are key components of my role at Studio Six.

HomeVisual Thinking Strategist

I developed a wide range of skills that are useful in day-to-day living as much as feeding into the design process.
HomeDesigner
Jul. 2004 - Sep. 2007As a junior–middleweight designer I took on a lot of creative briefs while honing my skills as a designer. Clients ranged from large blue chips to quick turnaround favours for the boss. Enjoyable and creative way to start my career.
IKEA GroupSales Assistant
Dec. 1998 - Jul. 2001BristolOn face value not very relevant to my career, but I believe in taking lessons wherever they come from in life. During my time at IKEA I learned about merchandising, customer psychology, sales and customer service along with teamwork, organisational culture and the impact of good leadership. I wasn't just a kid with a Saturday job: my long term ambitions were fostered and I think I'd still hold Jif up as the best boss I've had in my career.
PhotobitionJunior Mac Operator
Jun. 1997 - Sep. 1998BristolBack in the days when Macs were beige and digital photography was still out of the reach of the mainstream. I spent my time scanning and retouching trannies*. Yes, you read right. Studio tunes were firmly in the Britpop category and Adidas Sambas adorned my feet. If you weren't there, you'll never know. #rosetintedmemories
