About me

I currently serve as the Global Head of Visual Design at Skyscanner, based in our London office. In this role, I oversee the visual identity of the Skyscanner brand, ensuring it's consistent and impactful across all touchpoints. I've been with the company for 3 years, and during that time, we've transformed the way Skyscanner is perceived visually and built a world-class in-house design and motion team.

As a self-taught designer and creative, I'm passionate about creating opportunities and breaking down barriers for people from diverse backgrounds to pursue careers in design, with a strong focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion. I'm dedicated to building teams, nurturing talent, and empowering individuals to reach their fullest potential.

Before joining Skyscanner, I was Head of Design and Partner at BBH London for 6 years. I also served as Creative Director at AKQA, working primarily on the Nike account. Additionally, I have experience as a Creative Director at agencies in Manchester, including Code ComputerLove and Amaze, and spent 7 years working as a Senior Art Director in New York.
