At my core, I'm a creative story teller, thinker, communicator and collaborator. I'm a genuine people person, and believe that deep, honest relationships forge the path for true story telling and change. I believe that these qualities combined help me stand out as not only a talented creative leader, but also to get the very best out of those around me - all whilst having meaning, depth and true originality to everything I do. On a strategic level, I digest and challenge a creative brief, exploring possibilities and creative hooks, and creating a compelling narrative that truly connects not only with the intended audience but also internal teams and stakeholders alike. I see myself as the guiding light that draws an idea together, executes it through collaboration and inclusion, all whilst maintaining focus and direction, and adhering to timelines and budgets. I have over 22 years experience in being creatively curious and possess the ability to nurture and grow an idea, all whilst enhancing the skills of the team around me.
