As a Creative Director, it's surprised a lot of people when I tell them I don't have a degree. My circ*mstances growing up took a less conventional way toward my dream career.

I've always been a big fan of connecting people creatively, professionally and tbh just any excuse to bring two pals to have a wee coffee ☕️ So I figured why not do that here 🤠 Below are some of my absolute favourite people to work with, in case you're looking for new talent or just someone cool to connect with! 👇🍧 Suze MyersArt Director / Web Designer / Funniest Copywriter I Ever Worked WithSince Suze and I met, there's barely a project I've touched that she hasn't been part of. Suze brings a quality of fun to every project she works on, even if you think there's no way this brand can be playful - Suze reimagines design in a way that genuinely surprises you. If you're ever in need of a witty creative, exceptional designer, an eye on design trends or laugh-out-loud copy - she's my go-to gal!🪩 Jenny Hyseni Community Manager / Social Media Specialist + Strategist / London gyalllJenny is one of the most devoted community managers I've ever worked with. She genuinely cares about taking care of your existing community and coming up with creative solutions to grow them. Not only is Jenny a great manager, but an incredible creative with ad briefs that became company megawins $✨ Ffion NormanCreative Director / Product Extraordinaire / Impeccable Designer / SupermumFfion has one of the best eyes I've seen when it comes to Product Design vision and as a CD, can acutely manage projects at every level for every team members skillset (and with absolute kindness). There is something about working with Ffion which is addictive because she brings a unique set of creative skills which I have personally never seen in another person. Her talent for creative is matched with her talent for analysis. She's a smart decision maker (and also, an amazing illustrator!)🚀 Emīl BlūmArt Director / Design Director / Most Creative Dad EverMy memories of working with Emil between 2016 - 2018 are of us back to back as an Art Director/Copywriter duo in a Scottish studio which was always a bit too cold. That being said, working with Emil is powerful enough to keep ideas burning. As a designer he is focused, as a creative he is a visionary, as a dad - idk how he does it. I feel so lucky I got to watch Emil bring his visions to life across crazy mediums I'd never have imagined (360 campaigns, manual vinyl players??) Emil is the kind of designer I could trust to rebuild my brand with his eyes shut and still trust he'd find some unique way to kill it. I'm proud to still find ways to work with him almost a decade later!

I've had the BEST time working with Jake Deleon and Fila Manila on their social strategy and content creation for their Shark Tank ABC debut. At a glance, our social content has already gathered over 1.4M plays in just 7 days! 🇵🇭🦈As a die hard Shark Tank (and Dragons Den 🐉) fan and Filipino Scottish gal, I couldn't have been more proud to work with Jake and Fila Manila on this exciting milestone. Fila Manila is on a mission to bring Filipino cuisine and culture to every household in the United States. Growing up, my mum and I would drive hours to source ingredients from various Asian grocery stores and book deliveries across the country just to get what we needed to make longanisa or lumpia. What Jake is doing at Fila Manila is nurturing the souls of Filipinos who miss the taste of home, and introducing an incredible new (HEALTHY) palette to the rest of America! Go Jake! Go Fila Manila! Go Filipino Food!!
