About me

I’ve worked in agency and in house, for studios and brands including: Apple, Burberry, VICE, Wallpaper*, ManvsMachine, Nomad, and forpeople. Prior to that I learned a few things from the talented folks at Made Thought, AKQA and Chelsea College of Arts, UAL. My experience has focussed across brand strategy & brand identity, brand design and digital design. I’m most excited about defining brands through strategy and identity and how this impacts every interaction for customers & consumers. I’m particularly interested in luxury, lifestyle, fashion and tech. But ultimately enjoy working with brands that are best in class in their category. I really enjoy developing great people and have done this both through leading and mentoring teams and designers as well as holistic design and career coaching. On the side I enjoy taking on brand strategy and visual identity for startups and smaller businesses. I graduated with first class honours in Graphic Design Communication BA(Hons) at Chelsea College of Arts, University of the Arts London.
