Holy smoke!!! 35 years in the advertising industry, where on earth did that time go?
Studying advertising at Newcastle I graduated as an Art Director and got my first job working for Ware Anthony Rust where I honed my skills. During my time at W.A.R, I won various advertising awards for Radio commercials, Press and outdoor poster campaigns and even photography which is a passion of mine. I then decided to start my own agency Honest Ideas, and the rest is history.
Raised in the West Country, I’ve now settled happily in the East of England after a couple of decades working in London.
During my time in the Big Smoke, I held roles at leading media brands – spending nearly a decade at The Guardian (including an incredible stint at its startup office in New York!), unpicking GenZ habits as a Strategist at VICE, and launching & leading a new creative studio at Bloomberg Media.
Passionate about the power of brands to inspire action and bring about change, I love helping marketers think differently, stand out and to forge deeper, more meaningful connections with their audiences
Originally from Vietnam, I moved across the ocean at seventeen to pursue my dream to work in Art and Design. Since 2020, I have been delighted to be a part of the Honest team, where I have grown and learned from the best in the industry. I am experienced with a wide range of design projects, from social media campaigns to full branding and roll-out. I love the cinema, reading, street photography, and eating.
