FAQ

Everything you need to know about how I work.

What types of projects do you take on?

I specialise in experiential marketing and fan experiences, creating immersive moments that bring brands, artists and audiences closer together. I also work across creative direction, campaigns, branding and design, from album launches, music videos to brand activations, pop-ups, product launches, creative gifting and brand/artist merch.

Where are you based, and are you available to travel?

+

I'm based in London and work internationally, either on-site or remotely depending on what the project requires. I have experience delivering projects across locations including the UK, Scotland, France, California, Portugal, Finland, Saint Lucia, Costa Rica, Panama and Colombia.

Who do you work with?

+

I work directly with brands and artists, as well as partnering with creative agencies to bring projects to life. I'm experienced leading a team of creatives within an agency environment, collaborating within existing structures and taking ownership of a project from concept through to execution.

What makes your approach different?

+

I'm detail-oriented by nature and believe it's the smallest details that make the biggest difference. I approach every project through an experience-led lens, considering every touchpoint to create moments that engage the senses and immerse people in the world of a brand or artist. Whether it's an event, a launch, a shoot or a gifting experience.

Why experience-led design?

+

No matter the project, I think about how people will experience it. From the way a space flows to the moment someone receives a PR box, I design with the audience in mind considering every touchpoint and how each idea can engage the senses to create a more immersive and memorable experience.

Do you offer production alongside creative direction?

+

Yes. I can lead the creative process from initial concept through to final delivery, working alongside suppliers, producers and wider teams. I'm experienced in developing the creative vision, overseeing production and ensuring every touchpoint from the initial idea through to execution stays aligned with the overall direction.

What are your standard timelines and availability?

+

Timelines and availability depend on each project. I work across both fast-turnaround briefs and longer-term creative projects, adapting to the needs of each project. The more time available, the more opportunity there is to explore creative routes, refine the vision and build out the details that elevate a campaign or experience. That said, I have extensive experience delivering projects with tight timelines.

How can I get in touch about a project?

+

Whether you have a fully formed brief or just an idea, send over the details about your project, and timeline via email.
