About: A comprehensive background in product and brand design roles, working in large teams and as an independent creative business owner.
Fortunate to work with some of globes most coveted companies, athletes and teams, where I learned the art of collaboration, deep listening, and beyond this the valuable business experience working for myself.
As a designer, I understand the effort and skills required in a fast pace environment being able to prioritise, manage and execute with collaboration in-mind, yet know that there are multiple answers and ways to inspire and lead change.
Working style is informed by involving peoples perspectives and enabling their abilities, and trusting that the creative process can drive results when we honour the process.
Creative Codes: I believe brands who are successful are ones which remain true to themselves and not dissolve or confuse their audience by doing too many things. Design language moves, but it’s not always so tangible. It’s clear to me to develop a sharp point, defining a moment by capturing an energy.
→ Process
At large organisations I have learned the skill of vision, enhancing design, commercialising products, combined with how to manage with passion and care and develop as a designer myself.
Consultancy: My entrepreneurial self grew. I’ve developed my business skills as well as my creative hand-writing. I enjoy connecting with new clients and delivering creative goals.
Innovation: I gravitate to open minded and curious environments where new ideas can come from subtle nuances and changes in approach.
On Site: I have traveled on development trips, vendor meetings, market inspiration and commercialisation trips, in Turkey, Taiwan, China and Europe, where I have gained knowledge and hands-on experience of wet printing, knit creation and cut & sew manufacturing.
