About me
I'm skilled across a breadth of areas: from interviewing consumers, analysing design sectors and articulating the visions of a wealth of iconic FMCG and luxury brands . Commercially and creatively minded, I blend design training with a strong understanding of client needs. I consistently demonstrate excellent interpersonal skills, having worked in complex and highly demanding B2B and B2C environments. I've project managed and developed strategic direction for projects and events which have been featured on BBC News, Time Out, and in leading design publications including Eye. Selected clients I've worked with include: ABInBev, BMW, Bvlgari Hotels and Resorts, The Coca-Cola Company, Diageo, Kering, Lamborghini, LVMH, Nestlé, P&G, Selfridges, Unilever, William Grant & Sons.
