About Me
I've been called the Lewis Capaldi of Advertising...
But I'm really just your standard Irn Bru drinking, tartan loving, borderline ginger, Glasgow girl from Dorset.
I have a Masters in Creative Advertising and I have been lucky enough to win a Yellow Pencil, Gold Creative Conscience Award and Nods Award.
Outside of my career I love travelling the world with an ugly doll named Mags and I have passion for taking scraps and putting them in a book.

We participated in workshops and pitches from Proximity, TBWA, St Luke's, TRO, Elvis, ENGINE, Edelman, 1000 Heads, RAPP and YouGov.

The Boring Blur
2007 - 2016
There is not much to be said here, I went to High School, I went to Uni. I got braces. I got a full fringe. Safe to say it wasn't my most attractive phase.
I did spend a month in Australia, but realistically the majority of time was spent sleeping, snacking and trying to find creative excuses for why I hadn't finished my homework.
The Cute Years
Nov 94 - 2006
Need I say more? Hopefully not cause there really is nothing else to say.
