About me
Hi, I’m K. A creative leader with over 15 years of experience who helps ambitious, purpose-led businesses thrive through design, vision and strategy. My non-linear background across various industries and expertise results in a true whole-puzzle-thinking mindset. I have a customer-centric, clear, modern and authentic approach to brands and products, and had the pleasure of working with names like informed, Courier Media, AllBright, intuit Mailchimp, Fjord/Accenture, Samsung, Nike and Havas. I have an authentic leadership style, based on empowering and leading cross-functional teams and am an industry mentor passionate about paving the way for more women to step into creative leadership roles. In a world drowning in noise, I'm on a mission to inject more purpose and joy into everything we create. Let’s work together.

  • Courier Media
    Courier MediaI worked at the helm of creativity across Courier leading a team of 5 core creatives and numerous external talent. Under my direction, we produced our bi-monthly magazine – featuring stories of small businesses from around the world; printed guides – like the latest How to Start and Grow a Business; large-scale commercial projects across digital, print and film for brands such as Mailchimp and Instagram. And a vast range of digital output across websites, newsletters, social and film.
  • AllBright
    AllBrightAs Design Director at AllBright I helped pivot the business to digital first. I oversaw the direction of a highly-rated members' app in a 5-week turnaround, that led to a 900% membership increase in the first month. Simultaneously I implemented a new creative strategy and design refresh, making sure that the brand develops with the pace of the digital transformation. This resulted in boosting brand recognition and user loyalty over a staged 6-month rollout period. I led the design team as well

    SAMSUNG | The Space BusSamsung were keen to leverage their partnership with the Science Museum in order to get school children thinking about a future in the sciences.

  • Happy multi-talented Mother's Day
    Happy multi-talented Mother's DayStatistics show that, depressingly, working mothers are 18% more stressed than everyone else. If you have more than one child, that figure shoots up to 40%. Well, duh. Raising a human (or humans) while trying to find that mythical work life balance can be exhausting, especially in an industry that runs on last minute deadlines and a fair amount of manic energy. Mother’s Day is a chance for everyone to celebrate the wonderful job women do in parenting. We forget that so many of those women also
