About me
“Dan can’t sit still” said by every teacher I had from 1987 - 2007.
Classically trained by Tony Cullingham, I’ve spent nearly 20 years in the space between brand and innovation. Today I’m Head of Intelligent Creative at Digitas in London.
How I work now: everything starts with an idea. AI is how I bring it to life: vibe-coded prototypes in days, not months, and content workflows built to scale, all held to traditional standards of craft and brand safety.
Diagnosed with ADHD in my late 30s, I now advocate for different-shaped brains. Sorry Mr Young, I don’t intend to start sitting still any time soon.
For fans of reading here’s my full CV
