CONSULTING
RESEARCH AND STRATEGY
Research and strategy is at the core of all my outputs. I believe in using quantitative, quality and in-person data in order to create strategies which resonate with the audiences for whom they are intended. The below represents a small sample of this work which ranges from period products to fashion to motoring, as well as work for NGOs.
