FOUNDER
 

Heyday is me!

I am a communications, business and brand development specialist based in London focusing on the creative industries. Over the last 24 years I have been lucky enough to work with some of the most respected names in international design, architecture and culture including Adjaye Associates, Pentagram, United Visual Artists, Wolff Olins, Peter Saville, Sebastian Conran Associates, Central Saint Martins, IDEO and The New Craftsmen. Roles have varied from strategic marketing, client relationship development and communications consultancy to editorial, media relations and curating which have led to establishing and maintaining a wide network of contacts in the creative industries, arts and culture in the UK, Europe, USA and Asia.

My work has also included commissioning content for books and special projects, and collaborating with writers and curators on exhibitions and events such as TEDx and ‘Design Like you Give a Damn’ at the House of St Barnabas, Slow Tech: Designs for Digital Downtime at Protein Gallery, curated by Henrietta Thompson and DESIGNING_SOUTHAFRICA’S ‘A Nation Under Construction’ for the 2012 British Council International Architecture and Design Showcase. 

I have a Master’s from the University of London Institute of Paris and a BA in English Literature and History of Art from the University of Leeds. Outside of work I love music, literature and photography and a hobbyist travel concierge specialising in hotel, food and drink recommendations for friends.
