About me

I AM a creative juggernaut who understands and loves PEOPLE. I kick started my career when I started working for the BBC as a designer. From there I have worked on projects from Art Directing the first e-commerce proposition for Harrods to a mobile first solution for UKTV & their portfolio of brands. More recently I have worked with Google and Royal Bank of Canada. I am a "crafter" & a "grafter" who never shies away from getting her hands dirty. Literally!

  River IslandArt Directed the initial concepts for the design overhaul for River Island's brand online. Emulating the feel of the stores was paramount and finding innovative ways to display product details pages as well as basket and checkout. It was important not only to entice and excite the River Island customer but also make the process as easy and seamless as possible.
