ABOUT ME
Hi, I’m Dale Anne! 👋🏻
Based in London, I’m a Creative Director, Brand Builder, Content Creator and Cultural Futurist with a decade of in-house and agency experience. I empower global businesses with data-driven strategic creative and brand solutions that are consistently executed to pixel perfection. I love to work in socially conscious companies so that I can do strategic creative work that is meaningful and creates positive change in the world. In my spare time I love to explore night photography, study Japanese and visit art galleries.

Dale Anne is a meticulous, warm, and inspiring Creative Director.
She pushes my work to new heights throughout the creative process, championing my design expertise and ensuring work produced is on-brand and meets the required deadlines.
Having a team leader that allows me to get on and do my work but knows when to step in and give guidance is refreshing and greatly appreciated. I enjoy learning new trends from Dale Anne and incorporating them into my work to push my design limits.
She is great at multi-tasking and works with impeccable attention to detail. Being a part of her design team is the right mix of hard work and fun. I'm really grateful for her taking the time to understand how I work best and leading me with empathy.
