I’m a creative director with over 17 years ad. experience of nurturing, building and running award-winning creative departments, whilst creating and pitching all manner of impactful creative. And I’ve gathered a few awards to my name to prove it and was shortlisted for World’s most creative women 2017.

Proud to have been a judge on many a panel including D&AD, IPA Women of Tomorrow, D&AD New Blood, Cannes Young Lions, and a speaker on many a stage including: Cannes Lions 2018, TEDx, IPA, EffWeek, AdWeek. I’m even on a podcast or two and am published in a book later this year.

An active member of the creative community I work with many initiatives for change: SheSays from its small beginnings in London & Sydney, piloting The Girlhood, IPA Talent & Leadership committee, The Girl Effect (Rwanda) and Creative Equals. On the 2018/19 council for SheSays, as well as the only female CD on the IPA Council in its 100 year history.

I keep the need for greater diversity in the search for better creative work, front and centre.
