Profile

Experienced and accomplished professional with a proven track record of delivering optimal results in high-growth environments. A dynamic and detail-oriented leader, I specialize in creating engaging visual solutions and messaging for diverse industries, from fashion and beauty to technology, financial services and healthcare. 

Skilled in visual storytelling and a believer in design thinking, I excel in planning and directing for design, photography and digital media. 

Expertise includes efficient utilization of resources for impactful creative campaigns, delivering unique, captivating, and strategic insights while staying current with design, fashion, and technology trends. 

Strong interpersonal and leadership skills enable effective communication with account management and creative teams. Confident in handling multiple functions and activities in high-pressure environments and tight deadlines. 

Conversly, I’m always happy to develop a thoughtful and strategic approach to understanding and solving big-picture problems, utilising considered design thinking informed by deep experience.

I enjoy the learning process in new client acquisition, campaign and communication design, especially understanding research and mind-set for audiences. I have worked with Pharmaceutical brands from Actonel to Zetia, and I am most proud of having designed the communications to take the Gardasil brand global. Equally, I’m most impressed by my clients at UBS for inspiring and expecting nothing less than design excellence.
