Ed is a Creative Director/AD from London based in Los Angeles.

I’m currently a Creative Director at Electronic Arts working on Star Wars and Marvel.

I previously worked at BSSP, Deutsch, TBWA/Media Arts Lab and W+K London.

I’ve worked and led projects from concept to delivery across a wide range of formats: digital and print editorial, live-action and documentary video, motion graphics and animation, social media and experiential platforms, and more.

With a background rooted in filmmaking I thrive on being conceptual and am dedicated to the storytelling, craft and execution of an idea.

I have proven management experience from leading pitch winning teams to nurturing the creative individuals around me. For me, collaboration and kindness is key to cultivating any successful experience. I find it crucial to build and develop strong relationships both internally and externally in order to create the most successful and cohesive work.

Before I started working in advertising I was a Commercials Director in Animation, gaining over 12 years’ experience in the industry. I worked under the name Sumo Science, represented by Blinkink, Hornet Inc and Aardman Animations.

Having worked in both advertising and production I have gained a unique perspective within the ever-changing landscape that is the industry today. I see myself as more of a hybrid Creative Director than anything else, with the experience and expertise to take an idea from concept to creation. I’m commited to creating work that is visually engaging, entertaining and unexpected.
