I'm a senior freelance brand and marketing consultant with 15+ years of experience across multiple sectors, specialising in brand strategy, identity development and activation. I’m trusted by agencies and clients to lead projects from insight through to launch, with a strong track record in content, social, campaigns and multi-channel delivery. I build warm client relationships, bring clear strategic thinking, and hands-on execution to every brief. Beyond my professional career, I’m the lead singer in my band The Parallels and regularly perform live, which strengthens my confidence, communication skills and ability to connect with diverse audiences. I’m passionate about nature, the sea and the outdoors—surfing, skiing and paddle-boarding—and I enjoy looking after horses and dogs. I’m a mother, which has given me resilience, determination and perspective that I bring into my work—showing up consistently, leading with empathy and delivering to a high standard.
