LONG
STORY SHORT
Moved to LONDON >
CURRENTLY >
My Design journey started when I was 15.
My Dad wanted me to do Spanish so I could read menus on holiday but I said no and now
I can say my passion is my day job. (Learnt enough Duolingo in lockdown to get by anyway).
Went to uni in Preston, which is where I truly started to
become a Designer (and mastered the art of survival).
Did an 'sandwich' gap year, interning locally to get a taste of the real world before going back for my final year to graduate.
Packed up my life and moved to London and started a job at the dating app Badoo within
3 days. It was a leap and was the definition of champagne lifestyle, lemonade budget.
Planned to stay 3 months, moved home finally after 5 years.
Spent most my time there working (and laughing till my sides hurt) at Ministry of Sound.
Climbing from Junior to Creative Lead, dipping between Club promotions, Fitness socials
and Members club collateral. Fingers in every pie, one could say.
Came home, Freelanced and learnt more about taxes than I did anything else. Got a job
with TRIB3 International, Franchising HIIT Workouts globally and found my love for looking
after myself but learnt start-ups can be risky.
Now I work for JD Sports, doing my bit to transform and
create stores globally and keep pushing what I know and keep learning.
