I started moonlighting at a tiny creative hot shop called Bartle Bogle Hegarty in 1983 while studying at Central St Martins. I stayed there for 33 years. Always motivated by the opportunity to do mould breaking creative work amongst like-minded people, I had no reason to move.I was immensely lucky to find myself with the most talented people.

I spent the formative years of my career working closely with John Hegarty, amongst other incredibly talented people, learning the trade. In my time there I worked on some of the Agency’s most iconic work from Pretty Polly , Levi’s to Lynx and Yeo Valley. In 2016 I stepped down from being Deputy ECD at BBH and went to AMV as head of art. Over my career I have been lucky enough to win countless awards across all the award shows including a Lifetime Achievement award, over 50 D&AD pencils, 6 Cannes Gold awards and 5 gold Campaign awards.

As one of the very few female creatives I regularly appear on TV, in the press, pod casts etc. In 2023 I appeared in the Channel 4 documentary show “Madwomen”. I was also the subject of an entire episode in the Channel 4 documentary series “From the Top”.

I was President of D&AD in 2012 presiding over the Charity’s 50th year where I was part of the team that introduced the first new pencil- the White pencil -awarded to work that does good in the world. In 2020 I was honoured to be made a fellow of the IPA.

In 2019 I left the business to follow my heart and pursue a career as an artist.
