About me
Since graduating in 2008 with a 2.1 joint honours degree in Art and History of Art from The University of Reading, I have pursued a career in Experiential Marketing and Creative Events, working with inspirational leaders and brands throughout the UK and beyond.
As the Head of Creative Resource at Creative Agency We Are Family, I oversee the teams responsible for client management, engaging live and digital events, guest experience, digital and graphic design, production and delivery of memorable, immersive event experiences for brands such as Facebook, Instagram and Kantar. Consistency, high standards, an eye for detail, exceptional communication and the ability to brief projects and direct teams are an essential part of my every day role.
