“The people you work with

define the work you do”


I am very pleased to announce my new position as Global Creative Director for Enterproid. 

After the acquisition of Lightbox by Facebook I had a number of opportunities and seriously considered them all. After meeting the incredibly talented, smart team at Enterproid I fell in love with their product (divide), they understand the importance of design as a key differentiator in a world gone app crazy.

I believe that ‘Divide’ has the potential to become a hugely cherished brand, up there with the greats in the B2B space. I am really excited to be playing a role in the development of the brand and product,  I can’t wait to get my teeth stuck in.

My agency proposition ‘Devil May Care’ is still being developed alongside the work I am doing at Enterproid but I will be reducing my client base to a few key products.

"You only have to get three out of five decisions right to be a success."

‘Instagram Sunglasses’, See The World In Filters
Hey Instagram fans—how would you like to view your world in Instagram filters? German designer Markus Gerke has unveiled an ingenious concept idea of integrating Instagram into a pair of sunglasses—allowing users to view their world in a desired filter. Called ‘Instaglasses’ or ‘Insta’ for short, it has Instagram filters built into the lens of the glasses that can be changed with a press of a button. It is also equipped with an in-built 5-megapixel camera with Wi-Fi capability—allowing users to take a picture and upload the image straight to the Instagram app. Though it maybe a concept design, Instagram fans would definitely be eager for this pair of sunglasses to start production. Raise your hands if you want a pair of Instaglasses!
