New Job

I'm excited to announce that I have a new job, this week I started at Think as the group art director based out of the new Glasgow office

Think is an award-winning content and publishing agency. It was founded by Ian McAuliffe and Tilly Boulter in 1999. Today, it employs more than 50 members of staff, works with over 35 clients and have offices in London and Glasgow.

I'd like to thank all the clients I've worked with over the last 9 years  - it's been a blast!

I've met some wonderful people and worked on fantastic titles, from Concrete Quarterly to Heat magazine. but I'm really looking forward to joining the team and Think and helping to develop their titles.
