An Intro

My Philosophy

I believe the most compelling work / projects and experiences happen when you connect with your true self.

To do that, you have to be brave, authentic and vulnerable.

This shapes my work with leading global brands, and developing teams to develop and deliver their TRUE SELF.

As consumers and cultures become more fluid and diverse, the way we think about brands needs to reflect that authenticity.

Creating brand strategy / identities / design systems and user experiences that adapt, respond and are relevant to consumers and their true human needs.

Having spent the last 10 years in brand, marketing and design leadership roles across the Virgin Group, success wasn’t always easy, but we always got there by being true, to our true self.

Collaboration

I believe our potential to solve any problem through creativity and collaboration is limitless.

I like to work with people and brands that share these beliefs and be involved in projects that solve large-scale problems that make social and lasting differences.
