My career began as an in-house designer for a regional newspaper, I quickly moved on through several small design houses before stepping into an Art Director role in London advertising agencies in my early 20′s. My big break came when I became regional Creative Director for Leo Burnett East Africa where the agency won over 12 pitches in as many months under my leadership and the agency more than doubled in size. In recent years I have been instrumental in leading Digital and Direct London in the setup, development and growth of a hugely successful in-house TV production facility. My additional talent as a music producer strengthens my passion for moving image and marks me as a key talent in this area and I am on the judging panel for the international Music + Sound Awards 2013. My  role at Sapient Munich was a great challenge and an incredible opportunity to bring together the traditional, experiential and technological aspects to the current muti-channel consumer landscape. Sapient is one of the key agencies to lead Germany into inspiring and pioneering ways of connecting brands with their consumers and my role was to integrate the communications side of advertising into the already existing technological side of Sapient. Once achieved, I was then asked to return to London to lead a new client of Sapient, AIG.
