How I'm set up

A small, flexible
network consultancy.

I lead projects directly and bring in trusted specialist collaborators when the work requires design, development, SEO or other technical expertise. Clients get senior strategic attention, with the right delivery team assembled for the project.

This model allows projects to be delivered end to end without the overhead of a large agency.
