I’m a Scottish exile in New York. A creative director, writer, strategic story-teller, focussing on ideas and communication. With over 12 years industry experience, I’ve been at agencies big and small, and have worked directly with clients on advertising, design and for the past few years, branding jobs. Strong on strategic thinking, creativity, client relationships and presentation, I was an actor, writer and director in a previous life and still write, record and perform spoken word/poetry in Brooklyn. This is just a wee taster of my recent work. Call or mail me to find out more.
