About me

I have worked in the industry for over 15 years in both the UK & Australia, for innovative and market-leading brands in the entertainment, hospitality, lifestyle, fashion & retail space. I have a diverse range of experience working in the UK and Australia in the creative entertainment industry in brand management, experiential marketing and content production. My career to date has been largely in the luxury hotel, travel, fashion, food & beverage sectors; with a specific focus is in creative communication and brand building. I conceptualise, advise, create and deliver bespoke campaigns, styled events and shoots, sponsorship, partnerships & influencer guidance and management all across multiple platforms. I have been a columnist for Surrey Life magazine and written for various other publications (digital and print) on creative topics and have hosted various interactive creative workshops for lifestyle brands such as Soho Farmhouse, Anthropologie UK and Lululemon. I apply my skills in storytelling to craft brands and brand experiences that emotionally connect with an audience to create brand loyalty for life. I am also an illustrator and my prints and stationery can be found on the studio website, as well as my work being largely featured in our brand work.

• Christmas Concept & Illustrative AssetsWorking with Polar Black Events, I was thrilled to be invited to manage the creative concept for the Christmas tree and Moët & Chandon Lounge at London's famous Skate experience at Somerset House. I designed and developed the signature champagne bubbles cascading down the iconic 40ft Norwegian fir and ensured every touch point within the lounge space resonated with the brand's infamous glamour, warmth and "effervescence".

Creative Director & FounderStudio Collective
Apr 2021Birdlip, Gloucester GL4, UKFull Time
I founded Studio Collective post Covid, when I spotted an opportunity to provide support to luxury brands on their creative projects, who had lost a large amount of their creative work force during those dark years of lock down and beyond. Studio Collective became a “plug and play” solution for emerging and established brands who needed that expertise and creative magic to bring a whole range of creative endeavours to life. From digital campaigns, event design, styling, content creation, brand consultation, guest experience, launch events, photo shoots and more… the Studio can conceptualise and create it all. As Founder & Creative Director, I am the imagination & creative force behind all of the work we produce, ensuring all of our client projects are authentic, artistic & inspiring.
