About

I am born of a collision between creativity and technology. I bring together multiple disciplines and backgrounds to build true innovation that people actually want to see and hold in their hands. This is no longer just a label or an ad line; today’s products and experiences have to deliver real human value to earn their purpose.

By profession, I'm an Executive Creative Director with over 16 years experience. Always looking to solve problems by inspiring the creatives around me. I speak several languages: creative, strategy, commerce, front end, back end and collaboration. Currently, I’m concepting, presenting, managing and providing Creative Direction across multiple client accounts. I'm excited by sensors, gadgets and UI, and I want to bring real human feeling back into design and technology.

Recommendations

Dom Murphy
Design Director at AKQA

I worked with Craig during a perma-lance year at Nomads agency in Amsterdam. We worked together on a wide range of digitally centred projects including; second screen mobile apps, social media campaigns and brand identity (re)launches.

Whilst creatively directing these projects Craig demonstrated a wide range of skills and I really enjoyed him as my leader. His style of direction is insightful, sharp, honest and open. I was always considered a co-collaborator and given plenty of opportunity to run with ideas and concepts which Craig fully supported.

Craig applied those same qualities creating a clear sense of trust with his clients, who in turn reflected that trust back.

I highly recommend Craig. He is a great creative leader, who is both humble and fun to work with. He's also just a really good soul. I can't wait to work with him again.

Senior Copywriter at Huge

I was fortunate enough to report to Craig at Nomads Agency, where he lead a diverse group of teams working on a dizzying array of projects with a rare combination of grace, boundless compassion and drive. Craig actively creates an environment of hard work, respect and good humour that helps creatives make their best, and most innovative work. I miss working with him a great deal!
