Hi,

I am not a fan of lists.

They are dull.

And rarely rewarding.

But I am a writer.

And a problem solver.

​

So here is a list.

​

​I said writer...

I'm also an art director.

...And a creative director.

I could also add, mildly celebrated author & illustrator.

But chiefly I love ideas.

Ideally, the problem-solving kind.

​

Over the years I have been lucky enough to bring a few into the world.

​

Like creating one of the world's most shared memes.

A response to the London riots, that  spawned a book, worldwide news coverage, and was shared 6 million times. In a week. 

​

​

Or creating an adventure book series.

To inspire kids away from their screens.

Now translated in over 22 languages.

Film rights...pending.

​

There's the traditional stuff, too.

Award-winning TV & print campaigns.

And one's I can't even mention.​

​

World-first music videos? Check.

That were actually ads. Check.

​​

There have been launches.

Like giffgaff.

Making it one of the 

fastest growing mobile networks in history.

​

We even freed 10,000 chickens.

A battery hen for every mobile  unlocked.

Slightly weird, but it worked.

​

And start ups.

Like the feel good bakery.

Buy a sandwich. Feed a child in need.

78,502 meals, so far.

Now making coffee.

​

​

Even a few world records.

Like the world's largest fruit-powered battery for Innocent drinks.​

​

And the world's coldest portrait.

With Wim Hof.

Yes, that's me drawing.

🥶 

​​

​

And finally, I hope, one more.

​

A list.

That you have read to the end.

Without too much pain.​

​

Thank you for reading.

​

Ideas.

And lists.

Readily available.
