Heres a snapshot of some projects we’ve been involved in. I approach each piece of work with a hands-on philosophy, meaning I do, or oversee, every part; including project development, branding, placemaking, business workshops, photography, exhibitions writing, web building, I’ve even been known to put overalls on and knock down walls (Halifax Borough Market) to make a project succeed.

Taking an holistic approach to a project means that everything hangs together. Everything works alongside each other, everything enhances the other parts of the project, and a lot more can be achieved within your budget.

It’s not your usual agency approach, but I’m bringing years of experience of being a creative director, business owner and previously an engineer. So I combine a methodical approach with a creative insight, which brings a unique perspective to the work.
