Describe what you do in 5 words:
Bringing client ideas to life!
What part of your job do you love the most?
It’s always amazing seeing all the hard work conceptualising, ideating and fine tuning finally come to fruition for the client when their solution goes out into the world exactly how they’d hoped. I also feel incredibly lucky to be able to work with such a brilliant team of talented, lovely people who make all of that possible.
What do you like to do outside of work?
Travelling, cooking, reading. Catastrophising about things beyond my control.
What is the best career advice you’ve ever received?
At the end of the day, I think it’s important to keep in mind that business is all about people. Work is done by people, companies are built by people, partnerships are formed by people, so I really feel it’s important to always try to proceed with empathy and understanding in all aspects of what you do. Then, a good life lesson overall is that “you can’t serve from an empty cup”.
