I've seen a few people do this bit in the third person. You know 'Kathy is a creative from Exmouth but now living in the big smoke blah blah' as if they have a flipping secretary. I hate writing about myself, but I think I'd hate it more if I wrote about Josh in the third person. Even doing it once is bad enough.

Hi, I'm Josh, a creative from London. I like making stuff. I've worked as an Advertising creative in London for the last 7 years, with my ex-partner and all-around good lad, Jon Coates. But now considering he is in London and I'm in New Zealand, working as a team is less conducive.

The last 9 months have been spent working at VMLY&R in Wellington. The previous four years have been spent at Karmarma (now Accenture Song). The years before that were spent at The & Partnership. Placements at The & Partnership, Wunderman Thompson, and Arthur.

When I haven't been making ads, I like writing a bit of poetry, making a bit of music and my mate Billy helped me build a bike, which I like riding a lot (wearing lycra is the only time I ever truly feel myself).  Also enjoy running, climbing, coffee and wine. Not bad in the kitchen either to be honest.

I think that covers it. I'm quite glad it's over.
