I approach advertising like a ballerina taking the stage:

With nimble grace and humble strength. Except I dress in plaid, not sequins. I’m quick on my feet, down to adapt, and flexible enough to pirouette between high concept campaigns and purpose-driven platforms. As our industry continues to change shape, my goal remains the same: bring brands and people closer together using strong concepts, smart tech, and sound strategy.

I make things outside the office – like Rox’s Secret Code, a picture book that inspires girls to code, and The Clapping Clock, a site that celebrates frontline workers – because staying fresh and having a point of view matters.

Having been around for 16+ years, I’ve done it all. TV spots and online films, print ads and OOH, social content and content strategy, branded entertainment and experiences for brands, websites and mobile apps. Next time you have a brand you want to make famous, a platform that needs to win over hearts, or a problem that just can’t be solved conventionally, let’s chat. I’d love to work on it together.
