What Makes Me Unique
When I was 15 years old I decided I wanted to work in an advertising agency. Both my parents are ‘interactive agency
people’ so it seems that I have lived and breathed agency air my whole life. Due to my education in fine art and my
experience working during school breaks at my father’s advertising agency, I have gained insight far beyond my years. My
creative mind combined with a keen sense of business helps me to accurately articulate the creative perspective and
translate the business need-helping both sides become one team. I have both business development and client facing
experience. I have managed, worked as and led creative teams, worked with technical development teams in Asia and
ensured that the technology matched the creative concepts. I have also delivered presentations, managed clients during the
stressful times of pre-delivery and had a great deal of fun doing it.
My Career Goal
• To pitch and develop the ‘big idea’ and then collaborate with the creative and marketing teams while ensuring the
business and the client’s needs are addressed.
• To be the bridge between the business development, creative, and client service teams. I feel the passion to create
and deliver the best possible solution regardless of the medium, as there is no ‘one size fits all’ solution.

About Me
I AM A VISUAL ARTIST AND A CREATIVE THINKER.
My art practice, formed and developed while attending Chelsea College of Art and Design, is about the identity we create by
conforming to social standards in order to attain the freedom we want, but will not ever fully achieve due to the boundaries
we put in place, and what we do to remove these boundaries in order to attain that feeling of everlasting freedom we once
felt as a child. My business side has developed from being immersed into the agency life at a very young age, and
embracing every moment of it.
Hobbies
I play squash and practice yoga as I find the competitive spirit in squash drives me to win and yoga helps me through
stressful times. I also paint, and do photography, along with other various art forms.
