(She/Her/Hers)I creatively bridge together the client’s ambition with the digital expression. My role is to see their goal, then craft a unique virtual place where that goal is brought to life through new tech, compelling animation, eLearning, and multimedia.
Nothing beats hearing a client’s challenge and feeling the ‘lightbulb’ moment. I love sharing a new idea and seeing their excitement and trust when an out-of-the-box solution fits perfectly. Right now, I’m energised by tech’s shift and what it enables: more impact, faster.
My experience
From Hospitality to High-Tech: my degrees in Hospitality and Animation and Illustration led me to innovation consulting through one focus – creating memorable experiences. Whether hosting guests or designing digital platforms, I build inviting spaces with seamless UX and delightful surprises, inspired by animation’s clear action-and-reaction. I’ve delivered animations, eLearning, interactive tools, and VR/360 experiences across Government, Logistics, Engineering, Pharmaceuticals and led internal projects to test-drive new ideas. The variety has taught me that, whatever the industry, our work is about helping people grow, adapt, and understand each other better.
I work hands-on; research, experiment, share, prototype, test, and scale what works.
Seeing our solutions create that human connection is the most rewarding part of the job.
When I’m not diving into new tech, you’ll find me doing the complete opposite: getting close to nature – mostly touring and bikepacking with as little technology as possible. My one exception is my vlogging kit – I can’t resist capturing the adventure! My biggest pet peeve is having to find a place to charge gadgets when I’m trying to escape them. I’d rather forget they exist. Getting a little lost can even be exciting… unless, of course, a single missed turn results in cycling up a mountain for miles on end.
