I was born and raised in Manchester, England; a city famed for its cultural heartbeat, industrial backdrop, and down-to-earth sense of humour.

My educational background spans human-centered design, visual communication, sustainability, and languages.

Coupled with this, is my 20 years of experience in the creative industry, and as a curious soul, I embrace a constant state of learning.

I started my career in a London publishing house, showcasing the best of international creative talent through both print and digital publications; worked with photographer Nick Knight for SHOWStudio and his high-fashion clients; promoted creative excellence through the D&AD global design and advertising awards; moved into the world of advertising where I fully embraced my flair for talent and project curation in agencies such as Ogilvy and M&C Saatchi; and then worked on projects in the strategic design and headhunting field, before packing my bags and flying West, to start my California adventures. 

Placing focus on my passion for human-centered design and sustainability I have consulted in a wide range of sectors over the last decade, including: finance, healthcare, organic & regenerative agriculture, seafood & ocean ecosystem, climate change & environmental conservation, menstrual equity, inclusive outdoor recreation, fashion & manufacturing, real estate, HR & recruitment, tax, and entertainment.

My love of connection and synergistic collaboration continues to drive my adventures and inspire my practice. When I’m not in my Topanga Canyon studio, you’ll find me pottering in the garden, or exploring local mountain trails and beaches.
