Creative Director & AI Content Strategist

Professional profile

Cross-sector creative director and content architect, with a career spanning prime-time television production, digital innovation and content product development. Specialises in decoding complex knowledge and turning it into interactive learning experiences and content products that hold attention and change behaviour.

My entire creative and strategy operation is AI-native - from building intelligent agents, through vibe coding and workflow automation (Claude Code/Design), to end-to-end generative production - at scale and without compromising brand quality or identity.

A creative director who thinks like an editor, builds like a content architect, and ships like a creative technologist. Full ownership and high agency, fast-moving workflows, and building the tools that solve the problem - that is my default.
