Summary
Having worked in a number of internationally renowned agencies, my career started in media and analytics before eventually moving into a number of roles where I was responsible for strategic client partnerships across everything from high volume asset production to enterprise-level design and build.
Along the way I’ve lived in France, I’ve invested in and transformed a 20-year old publisher, I’ve consulted, and I’ve supported clients with agency procurement, the setup of in-house teams and product development.
I’m naturally analytical, love learning about business and hate bad design; all which has led to a specialisation in Product and Service Design.
In my current role at Absurd, I’m responsible for our client partnerships. This includes leading business development and overseeing our existing client relationships across a number of transformation programs.
