About me
A Creative Director and Brand Strategist with 15+ years of experience transforming start-ups into scale-ups. I have most recently helped Vinterior.com re-articulate their brand position; securing investment from a brand-led VC along the way 🚀. At Made.com, where I was the first employee ☝️, I built creative operations from the ground up, scaling brand creative from Seed to Series D. Prior to this, I honed my skills agency-side, working with clients such as Nike, Sainsbury’s, Estée Lauder, and P&G. Combining creative and strategic nous from operating and scaling successful start-ups, I have a passion for helping businesses distill strategies into bold, impactful creative work to help brands win.
