His ambition is always to create work that stands out, gets noticed, shared and talked about. While trying to have as much fun as possible on the way. He's written for Campaign, Creative Review and Shots and is also an Outdoor nerd. That's why he and Dan get on so well. When he finds the time he likes to write short stories, the latest of which ‘1 in 300,000,000’ was shortlisted for the Winston Fletcher Prize. He can also play the clarinet and finish the Rubik’s cube in 2 minutes... without peeling off stickers.
