ABOUT ME
Hey! I’m Lew – a creative designer bringing all the fun and vibrancy of the fair to creative projects in the visitor attraction industry and beyond!
I'm immensely driven to produce compelling propositions and deliver projects even when faced with challenging timeframes and budgets. My experience spans presenting concepts to theme park directors, illustrating artwork for Europe's biggest pleasure pier, writing announcement dialogue for major attractions, directing film shoots, leaflet design and more. Its always my aim to create in a way that's incredibly engaging and functional, whilst pushing the intention of a brief to its absolute best.

Its always my aim to create in a way that's incredibly engaging and functional, whilst pushing the intention of a brief to its absolute best.
Over the last 7 years I’ve gained a wealth of experience across the industry, in marketing, guest experience, educational workshops, operational roles and more. I’m skilled in a variety of programs and mediums, with a real eye for fun and a huge passion for developing my skills and always learning more.
I graduated from the University of Staffordshire with a First Class Degree with Honours in Business Management, and a Distinction in Visitor Attraction & Resort Management, pairing my work experience and creative skills with an educational background into the wider tourism field.
I grew up in seaside towns on the south coast of the UK, spending most of my childhood pestering my parents and sister to help me make stop motion films out of Lego & Plasticine. When I’m not jotting up ideas or working on projects, you can find me collecting retro toys, travelling to attractions around the globe, getting stuck into a book for graphic inspiration, or probably rewatching Indiana Jones for the millionth time.
I’m always keen to meet new people and get the ball rolling on fun, fantastical and epic projects, so if that sounds good to you please get in touch!
