Before studying to be a designer, I spent eight years as a content writer and strategist.

I worked in cross-functional teams with clients such as American Express, Burberry, Dropbox, Mercedes-Benz and Nike. Together, we created branded content campaigns that helped to grow brands, reach new customers and sell products.

What else?

I’m based in London where I've been a designer for almost three years following a Master’s in HCI Design. I currently work for an agency called Fluent Interaction on products in the cybersecurity, banking and finance, and healthcare industries.

I got into the field through a love of design and technology, and a fascination with human behaviour. But, as someone who’s always had a close eye on emerging trends and what’s new, I got my start in the creative industries writing for a small but mighty London blog (back when blogs were the sh*t) called Yin&Yang. There I started to hone my sense of taste and creativity through writing and photography, before moving to my second home, Berlin, where I spent three and half years working for Highsnobiety.

As a designer, I love taking complicated things and making them appear simple, challenging conventional wisdom and asking hard questions, and looking closely at things to understand how and why they work (or don’t).

These days, outside work hours, you’ll find me in the gym trying for a squat PR, in the kitchen trying to master smash burgers, or in a comfy chair reading the latest sci-fi novel I’ve picked up. As do most, I also love to travel, and I’ve spent almost a year in various parts of Asia adventuring and photographing. I’m always looking for an excuse to go back.
