Edward Enniful’s debut issue as Editor of British Vogue

Tell us about your favourite campaign or project you have worked on and briefly what made it so special Most recently being part of the team that helped visualise Edward Enninful’s Vogue. The magazine previously had the same editor for 25 years so it was hugely exciting to go on that journey with the new team. When the magazine came it we each given a hard back copy from the editor and enjoyed an amazing launch party to celebrate. I’ve always enjoyed how magazines are really communities and bring together like-minded people. On that note, being a part of creating Vogue and most recently the new version of Jocks & Nerds have alot in common. It’s a real thrill seeing people leaf through the magazine and enjoying what you have created for them.

Tyrone LeBon’s campaign for Swatch

Who, in your opinion is a rising new talent in the creative industry So hard to name just one! I absolutely love photography so in that category I’d say new youngish people like Jaime Hawkesworth, Tyrone Lebon, Sam Rock, Hanna Moon…who are everywhere this year. Rising stars – I love Vikki King, Rafael Pavarotti, Pak Bae, Benjamin Vnuk, Tom de Preyet..to name but a very few..

Who in your industry inspires you Graham Routhwaite, Creative director at i-D. Someone who has given me advice and encouragement since I worked with as the design assistant at The Face. For that I am really grateful and inspired by. Oh, and Instagram!!

What has been the best influence on your career so far A burning desire to live the life I dreamt of when I was a kid growing up, not to be stuck in the sticks – as beautiful as Yorkshire is..! hah sad but true.

What are you most proud of in your career In my professional career always doing projects I believe in. Most recently I have really enjoyed giving talks and lecturing budding creative students – it’s an amazing feeling sharing my experiences and giving practical advice.
