I’m a creative and strategist shaped equally by the work I make and the communities I inhabit. My career spans brand building, behaviour-changing campaigns and creative problem-solving across agencies, start-ups and my own practice. Outside the day job, I mentor young people through Arts Emergency, spark honest conversations with SheSays, and advocate for disabled and neurodivergent talent through With Not For, DISCO, and as the former Co-Chair of Ogilvy’s ReWired ERG. Creativity and care sit side by side in everything I do.

Creative Team at RANKIN CREATIVE
September 1, 2021 - September 1, 2023
At RANKIN CREATIVE, the mantra was simple: Question Everything. A philosophy we helped define through the agency’s own strategy and identity work. We moved at pace through campaigns, pitches, proactive ideas and brand-building projects for various notable brands. Our most meaningful project remains THE UNSEEN: a community initiative tackling unfair censorship of marginalised people online, resulting in a packed London exhibition, coverage on Sky News, academic research, and a published book.
