Some recent highlights

I’ve worked extensively with Design Bridge, Elmwood, and forpeople. And also with many other ad agencies and production companies, including McCann, FCB Inferno, VCCP, Tribal, Sapient, and Saatchi & Saatchi.

I’ve worked with Design Bridge, from in-store and OOH activations to pack copy, web copy, pitch and concept development. Brands include KFC, Hellmann’s, Auchentoshan, Lipton, and more. With forpeople, I developed the script for this ad for NiO’s in-vehicle Ai.

With Elmwood, I supported the team in writing the video script and web copy for the rebrand of PRS in Vivo. I wrote copy for a special edition pack for Old Mout x WWF. I was also part of the naming team that created this new brand, The Flavourists. Other brands I’ve worked on there include Alpro, Orchard Thieves, Syngenta, and more.
