About me
Hello! Welcome to a snapshot of what I do. I'm a multidisciplinary creative with my work spanning across Creative Direction, Production and Photography.  With 5+years of Marketing experience under my belt, I am able to create and execute visual concepts that translate well in the digital and commercial world, understanding how to portray critical messages through visual production. My creative and corporate background provides space for me to build authentic relationships with ease and professionalism.   I have worked on campaigns for the likes of Kurt Gieger, Jordan Mackampa, Tay Iwar, as well as sustainable fashion brand Everpress Ltd and an array of personal projects for my Music. I am currently a part-time Creative Project Manager at alternative music and art platform, WE ARE SOUL and a full-time Creative Marketing Executive at Everpress.
