Award-winning Senior Creative and founder of The Future is ND - the first-ever neurodiverse network set to champion and empower neurodiversity in the creative and tech industries.
Over two decades, I’ve been privileged to work at some of London’s best-known advertising and digital agencies. So when I’m not changing the narrative around neurodiversity, I enjoy developing concepts, art directing and writing for a variety of famous brands, across a mix of channels and platforms.
I have the ability to think big, fast, deeply and widely, and can intuitively turn valuable insights into culturally relevant ideas, stories, and experiences. I'm forever curious, with a restless desire to learn new things and to evolve personally. I’m an open and kind collaborator, an empathetic mentor and a hard-working and energetic asset to any team.
Recent work includes Creative Lead on the launch of 5 new programs at Channel 5, social media campaign for Purina Friskies at AFG McCann, and successful pitches for Dolce Gusto at Digitas UK, One family Child Trust Fund at We are Futures, and Hasbro and Boden at Creative Drive.
Skills include ideation, art direction, creative direction, design, copywriting, strategy, public speaking, neurodiversity consultation, workshop facilitation and mentoring.
