About me

With a wealth of experience in digital and print design, I bring together creative thinking, digital expertise and leadership experience. I enjoy turning complex challenges into clear, engaging experiences and working collaboratively to bring ideas to life.

​

I’m equally passionate about leading and mentoring my team, nurturing their talent, and supporting their professional growth and progression.

  • 5 years’ design leadership experience, mentoring and developing creative teams

  • Led a multidisciplinary design team of up to six, from interns through to senior designers

  • Managed team performance and development through AS Watson’s PACE framework, setting objectives, providing ongoing feedback and supporting career development

  • Completed management training programme, AS Watson’s 'Activate'

  • Ongoing leadership devlopment through FranklinCovey leadership programme

  • Led cross-functional partnerships across marketing, product, development, e-commerce, analytics and senior stakeholders

  • Led the delivery of multi-channel campaigns, from start-ups to global brands

  • Broad hands-on expertise across branding, UX, digital, print, creative direction and HTML/CSS

  • Implemented design systems, workflows and processes to improve consistency and efficiency

  • Led the development of a scalable digital banner system for multiple sizes across 8 languages which increased team efficiency by 40% and reduced file sizes by 98%

Away from design, I enjoy spending time with my family and our Labrador, getting outdoors for a walk or bike ride, and photography, particularly animals, landscapes and everyday moments.

​

I’m also a keen foodie who loves cooking for family and friends, eating out and discovering new places. Whenever I can, I love to travel, experience different cultures and, of course, sample the local cuisine.
