about

I have specialized in multi-discipline creative for over 20 years, my experience has included working in the US and the UK markets, and on global projects for some of the world's largest brands.

I was born and raised in the UK, starting my career in 1996 as an intern at the London office of global branding icons, Landor Associates. In 2009 I made the jump to the US as part of an agency team purposely built to service a new $2BN grocery chain, based in Los Angeles. I stepped out to run my own boutique agency, before being recruited to lead the creative for an ever-larger series of agencies.

I’ve used this global experience to cross the gamut of creative needs, working on projects that include; advertising, branding, content, packaging and traditional marketing, producing a wide-range of deliverables and 360º campaigns for varied and ambitious clients.

I excel in understanding the market and the client's needs, while curating and leading talented professionals to deliver innovative work for clients of all sizes.

Splash made a smart decision to take Mike on in 2016 as Creative Director for North America, at a time where the importance of incorporating new service offerings was paramount.

Aside from being instrumental in the reimagining of the design team, Mike consistently demonstrated an abundance of creative talent, production expertise and management intuition. What made him particularly impactful in our agency environment was his blend of creativity, professionalism and humility.

I'm certainly happy that I got the chance to work with him and I hope we get to do it again in the future.

Mike is incredible, loved every minute working with him on a client brand development program.

Mike was the Creative Director on the program and made it seamless to bridge in ideas I and my team were working on for the client, into a cohesive creative direction Mike created for the client.

His creative, production and design skills are incredible, but it's his added savviness and ability to understand, explain and expand on complex brand strategies that makes him invaluable.
