I’m pretty much in all-black all the time.
I decided I couldn’t deal with colours five years ago. Colours confuse me! Now it’s just matching black with black so you can’t actually go wrong.

Favourite part of my job:
That I get to meet very different people: in the agencies, the creatives, the team, your production partners, and your clients. Everyone comes from different backgrounds and industries, so it gives you a very good mix of weird and sane people. It’s very interesting, and I think it keeps things going.

One thing most people don’t know about me:
I check guys out by looking at their shoes first. I think the shoes tell a lot about whether a guy puts in effort to dress up because I think, to some people, shoes are always like an afterthought. I would say that shoes are a finishing touch and a very important part of the outfit. I know some people look at watches, but they’re a bit small and you can’t see them from far.

In my free time:
I read! I recently read a book about the confessions of a sociopath. It definitely gave me a very different perspective of what sociopaths are. Everyone generally has quite a bad impression of them, but I think they have a lot of characteristics which could actually be very useful for their work. They’re perfectionists and they’re not emotional which means they get work done, without getting emotionally involved.

Best advice I’ve ever received:
Be kind to yourself, and to other people. We can’t always expect people to put you in front of their own needs, and even though you want to get the work done or impress people, you should always be kind to yourself.
