hello
I am an established creative director specialising in digital design with a track record of idea generation, creative and art direction and team leadership. I like to listen, love to solve problems and believe that design should simplify connectivity between brands and people.
Confident, and proven in building, mentoring and managing teams, I have delivered industry and audience recognised products, platforms and campaigns. I consider collaboration as the fundamental building block of success, and relish opportunities to collaborate with people who hold contradictory ideas, differing abilities and varied experiences; previously partnering with strategic directors, copywriters, art directors and ‘tech heads’ to deliver richer and deeper creative solutions.
I’ve consulted at many of the world’s leading advertising agencies promoting that digital, backed with ‘invisible’ design, is the catalyst for serving extraordinary user experiences.
Clients:– Deutsche Bank, Economist Intelligence Unit, Nissan, McDonald’s, Google, Levi’s, Notion, Universal Music, BAT, Island Records, Disney, Panasonic, Canon, Away Resorts, Total Energies, The Body Shop, Vodafone and 3.

“It was inspiring to work with someone who was as passionate about our business as the creative work. This deep knowledge of Nissan’s business ensured that concepts met the brief through to the final polished delivery.
Nissan were in a period of transition in digital during the time I worked with Paul and he was never afraid to bring ideas that were brave and had stand out which fitted with Nissan’s brand position. Working on the Island Records partnership for Nissan was the first campaign where digital fully sat at the real heart of an integrated campaign which was lead by Paul and his team.
Paul’s strengths are also clear in managing and developing the team that works with him. The quality that was driven from him through his team was excellent ensuring that the work always met his high standards. ”
“Paul is quite simply the best manager I have met in my career. Hard working, very dedicated to his work and always giving the right example to his teams.
His enthusiasm and energy are inspiring!”
“Paul is a very cool and exciting Creative Director. He is always open to discussion, enhancing ideas regardless of whom the idea comes from, and very passionate to defend them afterwards. He knows the digital world and juggles various concepts naturally, it’s also a real fun to have him around the office.”
“A very strategic creative director, Paul is one of the best creative directors out there - he get’s brand ecosystems as well as old school 360 thinking!”
“Paul is one of the most driven and focused Creative Directors I have ever had the pleasure of working with. He has the ability to excite and get the most out of his team no matter the brief. ”
“Paul’s the kind of creative director you want to work with because that’s exactly how it is - you WITH him, not FOR him. He’s always in your corner, and the autonomy he champions makes you feel a part of something exciting. ”
“Paul is one the best Creative Directors there is. He gets the job done and understands how to inspire people around him. Paul’s a nice chap, your mate, he will have your back, but he expects the best from everyone. What I like about Paul is that he’s not some creative wanker trying to be cool, for him everyone is about the work and the people around him.”
