A legend among his peers, who’s brought something special to every team he’s joined...

And then that’s me, standing next to him.

Creative. Part-time voiceover artist. Filmmaker whenever I have filmmaking money. But sadly, not the Arsenal legend Robert Pires.

For one, I prefer Liverpool. And then two, I’m better with the ideas in my head than a ball at my feet.

Working in experiential taught me how to bring people closer to a brand in real life. My time in branding showed me how to make an audience care. Through writing short films, I’m always working out ways of keeping people hooked. And across everything, I love creating something bigger than the brief.

In the past seven years, I've been able to tell Mum that I:

  • showed the public why disabled people shouldn’t have to be super to treated as human, through adapting King’s Cross St. Pancras into the UK’s first fully accessible media space

  • converted the driest time of the football season, into something Arsenal fans looked forward to

  • and transformed a company’s anti-bullying memo into an award-winning horror film

THE MOMENTS THAT FELT LIKE AN AWARD

  • Holding an honest session with a class of Southwark secondary students from disadvantaged backgrounds about getting into the creative industry.

  • Founding Feedback Fridays during lockdown, a book crit matchmaker that paired grads and newcomers with the creatives I worked with at the time.

  • Winning a competitive pitch for Mercedes-Benz during my first placement

  • Overhearing a Mum explaining to her young son why braille was important, as they walked by our accessible OOH ad for Bupa x ParalympicsGB.
