About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I just wanna be free.

ABOUT ME

I really dislike these sort of questions as I never know what to say...I guess I'm the type of person that works hard and plays hard. I enjoy going away for weekends. I love getting out into nature. I also love being at home with a good book or cooking up a storm.

I like to draw and paint any weird little ideas that come into my head, and shuffle the furniture around in my flat every couple of months - just for a change. I'm happiest when my life is full and busy. I loathe the idea of being inside in front of the telly when it's a beautiful sunny day outside. I try grow herbs on my balcony, some more successfully than others and I love cheese cake, not the baked kind though.

PHILOSOPHY

preparation+opportunity=luck.

Music, Movies, and Books

I've just read The Wasp Factory by Iain Banks and Moxyland by Laura Beukes. Middlesex is one of my best books in the whole world, as well as Geek Love and The power of One. I have recently joined a book club, As far as music goes, I'm really into The Dresden Dolls, The Bastard Fairies and The Mouldy Peaches - I love jazz and blues too. I hate heavy metal and commercial R&B. I loathe Rihana, Britany Spears and Nelly Re-tardo. My all time favorite movies include: Adaptation, Anchor Man, Closer, Crank, Darjeeling Limited - (basically anything by Wes Anderson.)

Teach, Learn, Share

Working in such a relaxed ad agency means that anyone who'd want to learn the ropes and gain a bit of experience, could come and intern at my agency for a few days.
