About me

My background is a one of strong experience in the creative field, working in some leading global brands and developing their creative & visual merchandising propositions. My skills are built upon a creative DNA, but also the ability to convert that creativity into delivering projects and sales performance. Whether it be a small bespoke project or a large-scale volume campaign, my experience in creating the concept and managing suppliers globally, is always with the objective to deliver the brief, within budget and driving return on investment. In my previous permanent role I led the creative and VM division for one of the UK’s fastest growing marketing companies’ itg who provide services for M&S, Puma, Adidas and Asics as well as many more, my role was to provide creative services and project management to help develop accounts and deliver individual campaigns. Since then I have freelanced on various projects, campaigns, events and new store openings in the UK and Internationally. I am now looking to develop my career further with a new exciting challenge that matches my ambition to grow and one where I can support business objectives by driving change whilst being supported to allow my creativity, innovation and experience to expand.
