She is most proud of having converted a coveted Gold Film Lion at Cannes for the Cadbury Pre-joy campaign and two D&AD Pencils for KFC Suppertime Stories. She has also been lucky enough to have judged at various international creative awards shows, her most recent invitation being to the grand jury for New York Advertising Festivals.
When she isn't burning the midnight oil coming up with breakthrough creative ideas for big brands, she works as a personal assistant to two very demanding miniature French poodles named Daisy and Poppy.
