About me
Hybrid Creative and Commissioning Lead, operating across both the Production and Creative departments in advertising. I specialise in shaping the look and feel of moving image briefs, whether physically through my own personal skill set or by identifying and securing unique moving image talent, with a strong focus on diversity and inclusion, which is central to my approach in everything I do. With 13+ years of experience in Production, Advertising, and Events, I’ve built an extensive network of top talent. Additionally, I bring expertise as a Music Coordinator, including music searches. My interests span youth culture/trends, music, fashion, travel, hospitality, fitness, lifestyle and all things delicious. Brands include: Google, Honda, FIFA, Lidl, Nando’s, P&G, Teenage Cancer Trust, YouTube and Valentino.
