When & Why I Joined Get Ahead: 

Since 2019 I started freelancing full-time before joining Get Ahead in December 2024. I was drawn to the collaborative nature of virtual teams and the opportunity to be part of a high-quality, multi-disciplinary team that delivers exceptional results. Working with Get Ahead allows me to bring my skills and professionalism into a collective environment, achieving results that may not be possible on my own. 

What I Did Before Get Ahead: 

Prior to joining, I spent several years building my reputation as a creative designer. Following the pandemic, I expanded my expertise to include video production, working with clients across the UK, Canada, and the US. Notably, I contributed to modular exhibition designs for large-scale stands and collaborated with professionals from diverse industries. 

Earlier in my career, I worked as Lead Graphic Designer and Product Development Coordinator. I led creative projects for leading supermarkets such as M&S, Waitrose, Tesco, and Sainsbury’s, delivering innovative packaging solutions and collaborating on RHS projects. 

Before this, I worked for 10 years at printing.com, climbing the ranks and gaining valuable experience. During my time there, I supported SMEs across various sectors with design, print, websites, and marketing. 

Career Highlight: 

One of my proudest achievements was leading the creative design for a bespoke stand at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show in 2016, which won a Gold Medal and Best Discovery Exhibition. This high-profile project, visited by HRH Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, showcased the Phalaenopsis Orchid and established it as the UK’s favourite houseplant. 

Plans for the Future: 

I aim to focus on mentoring and coaching creatives and business owners while continuing my professional development in design, furniture, and architecture. Outside of work, I’m passionate about sports development, particularly in tennis, indoor cycling, running, and dance.
