About me
I am an experienced account and marketing manager, with an expert understanding of creative culture and its intersection with commercial products and projects. With an eye for organisational detail and an unflappable attitude to getting the job done, I work across a multidisciplinary team, from producers, to talent, to designers and manufacturers, and understand the nuances that go into the success of a creative product, platform or event activation.
