A creative-design hybrid, photographer and full time figit, I’ve never been good at doing just one thing. Ignoring my teacher’s warnings, I dropped out of my Art Foundation. Because how the f*ck was art school going to build me a career in the creative sector?
That’s why at 18 I co founded YCUK. An impact-led creative agency, ran by young people, for young people. What was born in a youth centre in South London, grew into an award winning social enterprise.
Running the agency and working as a youth worker taught me many challenging yet invaluable lessons.
At 23 I left to pursue other creative ambitions and found myself working for Idris Elba and Paula Bloodworth’s new agency, Alien Baby. My first role in more traditional advertising, I’ve worked on briefs with dream collaborators. Including a film with Gabriel Moses for Nike, that went on to win two Wood Pencils at D&AD 2026.
