I love learning, and I love sharing what I've learnt. Since the age of 22, I've started a range of business and ALMOST messed each of the them up. But somehow, through perseverance and a little fortune, I find myself at the helm of a VC backed health tech business. In the past I've been an Award Winning Creative Director, most notably at SXSWi. In my future I hope to build a business that genuinely makes the world a better place. In the mean-time, I'd be honoured to share my learnings with your audience. I'm most comfortable talking about Lean Startup, Digital Marketing, Company Strategy and being a Founder. But I've also talked about Design, UX, Content Marketing and Leadership. I'm based in Cardiff, but I don't care wether it's Barnsley or Brussels. If there's a group of engaging people, hand my a microphone and I'll start an interesting debate!

After spending $140,000 to become a lawyer, I decided to pursue my passion of makeup artistry. During this time I learned more about people than I had ever known. Women in particular but also how men relate to women. My life had become one real live sociology experiment. After 10 years as a makeup artist and hearing the number of stories and experiences of women from all walks of life - judges, strippers, business owners, survivors of domestic abuse, drug addicts, prostitutes, pastors, etc... - I realized they had one thing in common, the need to make better decisions. I use my wisdom to help guide people who don't know what to do or have not learned what to do in certain situations - personal and business wise. Additionally, I become a youth ministry leader to assist teens in developing good decision making abilities.
