PASSIONS


  • Women make up a staggering 85% of global consumer spending yet the endless list of gendered gaps (pay, wealth, investing… you name it!) skew away from their favour. If women are ever to be truly equal, they need to enjoy true financial independence which comes from education and systemic economic empowerment.

  • Throughout my career across fashion and beauty I’ve advocated for content to better represent the world around us based firmly on the belief that customers can only want to ‘be what they can see’ not just because it’s good business, but it’s one small step we can take toward equity. I want the “norm” in industry to be characterised by a variety of skin tones, body types, gender expressions and ages including the representation of people at the intersections of these identities. I am passionate about using my social privilege and career to uplift and empower others.

  • A life long obsession with aesthetics (fashion, interiors, cars and beyond) have made me hyperaware of excess consumerism and the part I play in it as a marketer. I am passionate about minimising my impact and working with certified B corporations committed to changing our planet now for a better tomorrow.
