Hey there, wanderers, adventurers and daydreamers! Welcome to my blog.
I like to think of this as a scrapbook-style journal; bits and pieces collected as I go along – a personalised compilation of memories, experiences and mementos captured in a corner of the internet where I capture my memories on all things travel, design, work, life, and everything in between. And I’m rubbish at keeping a paper journal, so, retro-style blogging it is 😀.
In my work life I’ve been running projects, leading teams and advising clients for three decades. I’ve had a great career that has taken me through the home entertainment industry, to create, market and transform global brands and drive digital transformation, customer experience and human-centred service design across a range of sectors. In 2002 I founded and ran my own design agency for over a decase and most recently I led Customer Experience for banking clients in a consulting practice. From the record industry to the Bank of England – talk about a varied journey! Today I’m founder of sustainable t-shirt brand Big Stories, and of consultancy Beautiful Futures.
So, this blog has some work stuff on it, but is more about the personal than the professional. You can head over to LinkedIn if it’s the work-me you want to find out more about. Here, each post is a page in my digital diary, filled with the places that stole my heart, the designs that made sit up and look, random musings, plenty of cocktails and the personal and professional experiences that taught me the most. I like talented people, beautifully useful things and stuff that makes the world a better place, so expect a fair bit of that.
So, come wander with me and join me on this journey.
