If I had to sum me up in a word it would be ‘Creativepreneur’.
OK, so that might not be a real word – but it reflects the fact I love to make things happen.
With two decades of experience, I have all the enthusiasm, vision, and problem-solving skills to spot an opportunity, get it off my sketchpad and make sure it delivers the best job for the client.
I have created award-winning campaigns in every type of media from digital, TV, outdoor to experiential and direct. A conceptual and strategic thinker I love creating culturally relevant work that truly understands life in today’s world.
I have bundles of energy, an eye for detail and passion for ‘big idea’ creative work that not only looks great but also has proven measurable results.
I’m very hands-on with a love for styling shoots and my thirst for inspiration means my passport is full of stamps and my home full of crazy knick-knacks.
In my spare time, my creative entrepreneurial streak continues. It's seen me launch a restaurant – building the brand from scratch. I co-founded Polar Pops, a healthy fruit & veg ice lolly business aimed at kids. I also founded Minnie Sprinkles, a boutique event styling service and have styled weddings in Cape Town, Malta, Tuscany and the Cotswolds. And more recently, I helped build up a school in the Za’atari refugee village on the Jordanian/Syrian border - bringing it to life with lots of bright and cheery original artworks.
I could go on, but that’s enough for now.
