Previously.

I’ve helped people understand Google better, creating experiences for Google’s Brand Studio.

Before.

Before that I worked with some of the world’s most respected brands at award winning digital agencies.

Other stuff.

On-the-side and back in the day I dabbled with digital creative experiments, made an app, and a design blog — all which got recognition too.
