About

I’ve spent the last 10+ years helping businesses grow through performance marketing, paid acquisition and digital strategy.

My background is strongest in performance marketing, with experience across conversion, ecommerce, analytics, lead generation and full-funnel growth.

I’m at my best when performance marketing becomes part of a wider growth strategy.

Understanding where growth comes from, what drives conversion, where performance can improve and how marketing can contribute more directly to revenue.

Alongside hands-on campaign work, I’ve also contributed to ecommerce, product launches and digital products.

Things I’ve built

I enjoy building digital products and experiments outside of my main work — mostly as a creative playground for exploring new ideas, AI and technology.

Let’s talk

I’m always interested in thoughtful conversations around growth, digital products and things being built on the internet.
