Curious by nature and driven by creativity, craft, and intuition, I am a British, award-winning global design leader with 20+ years of experience,  operating at the intersection of brand, design, strategy, and emerging technology.

I specialise in brand transformation, experience design, and design systems, helping organisations clarify their ambition, differentiate in crowded markets, and build future-ready brands that scale across digital and physical ecosystems.

Formerly VP, Head of Brand Design at Monks, I built and scaled the brand practice from the ground up into an award-winning, globally recognised, craft-led capability. Partnering with executive leadership, I positioned brand and design as catalysts for business growth by integrating AI-enabled tools and workflows into the creative process to further foster ideation and iteration, while recruiting and mentoring high-performing global teams and elevating standards, operations and creative excellence.

With a diverse career spanning London, Dubai, and Amsterdam, I’ve been fortunate enough to lead multidisciplinary teams across Europe, the Middle East, North and South America, and APAC. Delivering global programs for brands such as Nike, Google, Meta, Amazon HP, Autodesk, Toyota and more.

I believe design is not just a craft, but a strategic lever for business transformation. Simplifying complexity, elevating customer experience, and shaping how organisations show up in the world.

  • Monks

    Served as global executive lead, building and scaling the Brand Design practice into a significant pillar within Monks.

    Partnered with C-suite leaders to reposition brand and design in an AI-accelerated market. Moving it beyond visual identity into an integrated strategic platform aligned across strategy, design systems, and human experience to strengthen differentiation, trust, and long-term value.
