About me
I’m an art director who loves to bring ideas to life. I like to create work that is vibrant, and has a big personality- a bit like myself.
What inspires me, are brands that can engage a new audience through the power of design. It shows me that the possibilities are endless- I may not be able to save the world as a designer, but I have the ability to engage with people on a large scale.

- IWD Art ExhibitionFor International women's day, I showcased my illustrations at Iris London as part of an exhibition for emerging female artists. This series aims to shed light on the lack of representation of black women at the forefront of the fashion and creative industries.

- BBC Noughts + Crosses CommissionI was so excited to be apart of the social campaign for Noughts + Crosses. It’s a book that I grew up reading- one that made me feel empowered.

Across Africa, women are seen carrying their babies on their backs or hips, swaddled in traditional fabric. When the mother sways, the baby sways too. When the mother bends, the baby bends too. There’s a synchronised harmony betw

- PWC - AI ChatbotUsing the power of design, and the influence of emerging technologies, we set out to augment the experience for clients that visit PwC. From London Bridge to the office, we wanted to enhance every aspect of their journey. We created 'Gemma'- an AI concierge that assists visitors from home, to the PwC office.

- Beats by Dre - Rule the CommuteOur insight was that people feel powerless on their commutes, as you can’t control the traffic, the delays, the weather, overcrowding, but you can control what you hear and how. We sought to communicate how Beats empower you and is what it takes to rule the commute. We made it so that Beats is the indisputable jewel of our campaign, the one thing you can’t commute without. Beats empowers you to take back control to rule your space. We captured this by using real people escaping through their mu
