I’m a conceptual designer with over 20 years’ experience; working as both a freelancer and in
permanent employment. During that time, I’ve had the opportunity to work across a broad spectrum
of clients; from blue chip giants to small, niche brands. I am committed, conscientious and self-motivated.
I thrive under pressure and am not fazed by tight deadlines or large design briefs, and I’m totally flexible;
able to work alone or as part of a team.
FREELANCE DESIGNER 2007 – PRESENT
SO, WHAT HAVE I DONE?
I have a broad skill set which means that I’ve been lucky to work across a wide range of disciplines;
solving creative problems on briefs ranging from corporate identity and logo design to brochures and market
toolkits. I am as at home designing a suite of POS on a shopper marketing brief as I am creating the look and
feel for a new brand campaign. Detailed work doesn’t put me off either; I can see the creative potential in
style guides and on-pack promotions, and am as happy designing a web site or digital banner as I am working
to more traditional print formats such as FSDUs and DM.

3. This was the FIRST virtual online
march for the right of every child to
be safe from bullying. We wanted
100,000 kids to sign the petition,
create an avatar and join the online
march to Downing Street to stop
bullying. We didn’t get 100,000.
We got nearly 1,000,000!
Kids were encouraged to register
against online bullying and create
an avatar to add to the virtual park.
As the weeks went on, more and more
kids entered the park and more
event tents were erected! There was
even a special concert at the end
of the March with celebrity singers
including JLS!
Plus there was a section dedicated
to information as to why this March
was happening - the March to No.10
Downing Street to hand over the
signed petition to the Prime Minister.
Posters were created for the target
market (8-16) and as a range, covered
all different types of bullying
situations.

Ronan and Richard had the challenge
of swimming the Irish Sea, with a

raise money for people who are
already on their own extraordinary
journey. We wanted to encourage
as much support as possible and
asked if you could donate an online

or even walk that extra bit further to
raise money.

Sainsbury’s wanted an incentive for
their staff - so we created a campaign
called ‘Colleague Introduce a Friend’.
It was to drive online acquisition with
a better offer if ‘staff’ introduced a
friend. There was also an friendly
store v store rivalry and an outright
‘champion’. Huge success was
anticipated! Fun posters were added
to the staff toilets - where they had a
bit of ‘dwell’ time.
Every colleague can
collect up to £50 worth of
Sainsbury’s vouchers
Introduce your friends and family to
Sainsbury’s online grocery shopping and,
for every friend who completes a first time order*

you’ll receive a £5 Sainsbury’s online voucher –

30. Advanced fuel for your home
It’s important to find the easiest and most convenient
way of looking after your home, so you have more
free time available to enjoy it. But that’s no reason to
compromise on quality. When only the best will do when
it comes to furnishings, fixtures and fittings, why not
look for the best with the most fundamental thing you
can bring into your home – heat.
Enhanced copper deactivation formula
Copper pipework sometimes causes a chemical
reaction with standard kerosene heating fuels, causing
the fuel to discolour, form lacquers against the inside
of the system and reducing its overall combustive
effectiveness. TOTAL GLOWMAX’s advanced formula
includes a stability enhancer, which helps to prevent this
reaction taking place, meaning that the fuel reaches the
boiler in optimum condition.
Fewer emergency call-outs
Thanks to its stability during storage, reduced soot and
charring and copper deactivation, TOTAL GLOWMAX
is kinder on your central heating system than other
kerosene-based heating fuels. This should help to improve
the reliability of your system, reducing the likelihood of
having to perform non-standard maintenance or call out
expensive system engineers to deal with problems.
Researched and developed by TOTAL
TOTAL GLOWMAX is the product of extensive research
and development by TOTAL’s leading home heating
oil experts. It’s an additive-enhanced kerosene
specifically designed for home use and it’s exclusive
to TOTAL. Our task was to bring a high quality, cleaner
burning, advanced fuel to our customers; a fuel which
remains efficient throughout delivery, storage and
combustion, giving you peace of mind whenever you
need warmth.
Better performance with less soot and charring
Advances in fuel additive technology mean that
TOTAL GLOWMAX has the combustion properties of
the most advanced commercially available kerosene
products. Significant reduction of soot deposits in
your burners means that the fuel ignites more readily,
maximizing its distribution of warmth throughout your
home. Of course, reduced carbon within the sensitive
parts of your system means that your boiler should run
more smoothly too.
Smoother running all round
Designed to provide reliable, responsive warmth
whenever you need it, TOTAL GLOWMAX can also
reduce the need for emergency maintenance.
GLOWMAX’s exclusive formula cares for your boiler and
heating system and ensures that the fuel is stored and
delivered to your boiler in perfect condition. Once ignited,
it also burns more cleanly than domestically available
standard kerosene, offering truly efficient warmth.
TOTAL GLOWMAX
Performance, protection and peace of mind.
Tried, tested and approved by Aga
Half a million people in the UK own an oil burning system
and more owners than ever are being convinced of the
protective, performance value of using TOTAL GLOWMAX.
What’s more, after some of the most rigorous testing in
the business, TOTAL GLOWMAX now carries the official
stamp of approval from Aga itself, meaning whatever
model you have in your home, you simply can’t get
better for your system than TOTAL GLOWMAX.
