about.
I am a Creative Director, Creative Operational Strategist and company founder with design education from Central Saint Martins and Goldsmiths University London. I am the co-founder and Chief Creative Officer of a female-led generative digital art platform focusing on the intersection of art, nature and code; directing all creative output including concept, art direction, brand, visual marketing, animation and video. As well as being the creative lead, I oversee all executive decision making and project management, recently delivering an end product that sold for half a million USD.
Alongside this, and continuing on the exploration of these themes, I have recently developed an AI dream interpretation tool to help decipher dream symbolism. I take on freelance projects that are aligned with my ethos; like-minded, creative, ethically motivated start-ups, social enterprises and individual change-makers who have a challenge to face.
My career history includes over 15 years management experience in creative agencies with roles such as Creative Services Director at at multi-award-winning agency Stranger & Stranger and Studio Director at Rodriguez & Smith, later merged into Studio Practica, a multi-disciplinary design studio based in London, where I was a founding partner. Previous clients and partnerships have included Bacardi Global Brands, Pernod Ricard, Remy Martin, Filipo Berio, The Brando Hotel Private Island, Nobu Ibiza Bay & Opensea.
Utilising experience encompassing business development, strategy & operations, creative direction, creative strategy and project management, I am adept at building solid foundations for a wide spectrum of projects and clients, steering them through from inception to optimal delivery.

personality.
I spend my hours learning about symbolism, astrology, mythology, psychology and ancient cultures.
Things I like include: my cat, lemons, libraries, dreaming, moths, deep sea creatures, calligraphy, any potato based dish, sunny places, flowers, colours but also black, art, antiques, yoga, nice smells, anything weird / rare / obscure.
I’m into kindness, equality, justice and want in some small way to change the world for the better.
