AFTER completing my art and design foundation course at Newcastle-upon-Tyne's College of Art and Technology I studied for my degree in graphic design at Manchester Polytechnic (now Manchester Metropolitan University).
I then headed to London to begin my career at Sharps Advertising (later to merge with Saatchi & Saatchi) before joining other leading global agencies, including Grey (WPP), FCB (Interpublic Group) and TBWA (Omnicom Group).
Although I started in graphic design, I quickly switched over to art direction, and the positions of senior art director, creative group head, deputy creative director and creative director came quickly as my career progressed.
Based primarily in London and partly in New York, I also worked in many other major world cities, as required, on the broadest range of creative assignments imaginable.
I have given talks, lectures and presentations and held workshops on all aspects of creativity with companies, organisations, colleges and universities.
I continue to offer boardroom-quality creative advice to organisations of all shapes and sizes.
