With experience creating, evolving and revitalising brands across multiple market levels, I conceptualise, refine and reposition identities to fit a targeted proposition. My work spans deep market analysis through to concept, visual identity, creative direction, customer profiling, product development, commerce and ongoing brand management.
Brands I’ve created and launched to market include Hoemo World, Bloom & Bay, Uncommon Souls, Steele & Stone and Erase. A selection of case studies is outlined below, and I’d be happy to walk you through the full journey for each brand, so please reach out to discuss more!

brand creation & Launch
I launched Hoemo World in 2022 as a fully independent project, taking on all creative, operational and financial responsibility. At its core Hoemo World is an expression of sexuality, queer joy, sense of humour and community. The brand now trades with wholesale partners such as Keller Kreuzberg and Queer Britain. Hoemo World has hosted independent pop up stores in Hackney and Soho, London, and continues to grow successfully.
Some standout moments include working with Netflix to style actors in the show Too Much, styling Paloma Faith in her How You Leave a Man music video, and partnering with Not A Phase to launch a Protect The Dolls pendant necklace. Explore more on the Hoemo World page.

I created Bloom & Bay in 2021 as a brand concept for ASOS, managing everything from visual identity and creative direction to product, partnerships, sales and trade. Rooted in wanderlust, the brand introduced a commercial women’s sterling silver offer at an accessible price point, generating over half a million in wholesale sales on its first ASOS season and becoming a key part of their sterling silver jewellery category, before business restructuring in 2023, where Bloom & Bay exited the assortment. As the brand evolved, it expanded into scarves, gloves, bags and hair accessories. Bloom & Bay is now stocked by John Lewis (£415K for SS25), with stainless steel jewellery in TJX Europe and a full jewellery and accessories launch with Frasers Group scheduled in the coming season.

I created Uncommon Souls in 2018, launching on ASOS and later Zalando, and led the brand end-to-end across creative, product, marketing and operations, until I left DCK Group in 2020. Rooted in street style and youth culture, it delivers genderless, trend-led jewellery and accessories designed to be effortless, contemporary and accessible. within the first full trading year, Uncommon Souls was generating £310K in wholesale sales via ASOS and Zalando .

brand management
As Head of Brand and Business Development at The Brand Stable, I led a portfolio of proprietary and licensed brands, including Icon Brand, Bloom & Bay, and Smiley. I oversaw brand and commercial strategy end-to-end, shaping identity, creative direction, product, sales and distribution with a tailored approach to each.
I now continue this work through Ciento Supply, applying a more focused and agile model with a refined, targeted portfolio, including Ed Hardy, Hoemo World and Steele & Stone. Brands are centred on strategic growth opportunities, focused on building and scaling brands across product, creative and global retail.
I lead internal teams and freelancers while working closely with stockists and retailers to ensure every touchpoint communicates a clear, cohesive and authentic brand message.
