About

I have been with shots, creating content about the creative side of the advertising industry, for 14 years. Starting as the sub-editor of the magazine, I then moved to the role of contributing editor, writing in-depth features, country profiles and interviews with such heroes as Frank Budgen and David Droga.Now as features editor of shots.net, I commission and conjure stories about inspiring people, gorgeous campaigns and highly interesting stuff happening within the industry. I also help to curate and report on the best ads, promos, shorts and branded content for site's The Work section.A versatile writer, my career has included high-pressure management roles on weekly TV titles, including TV Times, plus sub-editing and writing for a range of consumer titles, from Marie Claire to Nuts; Radio Times to The Telegraph.Creatively, I am a playwright with London's Director's Cut Theatre collective and have had a number of short films produced, including the comedy Prince Charming, see below. I have had short plays produced at London fringe theatres including The Arcola, Waterloo East Theatre and Southwark Theatre and as part of Margate's POW festival. I started off my hilarious career in comedy writing for Edinburgh Fringe sketch shows.
