About me
I am a creative marketing professional with a future-first mindset and passion for connecting dots (no pun intended). 

For almost a decade, I have been on the front-line of social media marketing and technology delivering creative concepts, campaigns and strategies to a wealth of international music artists while also identifying and developing new business initiatives in a rapid and ever-changing digital landscape.

 My passion for creativity, strong knowledge of technical processes and emotional understanding of consumers allows me to confidently plan contextually engaging campaigns, direct creative projects and effectively collaborate with international teams, media partners, marketing agencies, developers, artists, and creators from conception to execution. 

I am highly passionate about the consumer, always questioning the digital media status quo and continuously looking ahead to the future by identifying opportunities and solutions to potential problems ahead-of-the-curve. 
Above all else, I love thinking creatively and using my skillset to identify or solve any artistic or business challenge. Please do not hesitate to get in touch if you would like to chat further. I will be more than happy to help you!
