Creative, designer, nerd

I’m an experienced creative leader and designer, who loves working in product design, branding, advertising, and a huge range of digital media. I’m currently Creative Director of Templates, and Product Design Lead at Canva, where I enjoy figuring out the many ways in which technology and creativity can come together to make something beautiful – and make the world a better place. Feel free to contact me on LinkedIn for a chat.
