I’m a senior business development and marketing executive with a background in art direction and an MSc in Marketing, specialising in consumer psychology. My career has spanned the legal, tech, hospitality and consultancy sectors, always with a focus on strategic creativity and meaningful client connection.

With a degree in graphic design from Falmouth University and a Masters from the University of Exeter, I bring a design-led mindset to the business of law, using brand strategy and creative problem-solving to drive growth and engagement. I’m particularly passionate about partnering with founder-led businesses and making complex legal services more accessible, engaging and human.

At Lawrence Stephens, I support the firm’s Private Wealth, Owner-Managed Business and Regulatory teams, while also contributing to the international practice and overall brand strategy. I’m co-editor of  The FinePrint — our thought leadership platform for founder-led businesses. A committed networker and relationship builder, I believe the best business development is personal, purposeful and collaborative.

Outside of work, I’m an avid reader — I’ve kept a book diary since the age of seven — and a keen hiker, always open to new trail recommendations.

I am a business development and marketing professional with long experience of the legal sector. Previous roles include assignments at a number of major law firms and most recently led on the creation and development of the Charles Russell Speechlys and then Howard Kennedy law firm brands and the implementation of their go-to-market approaches.

My role is both operational and strategic, ensuring that we do things as efficiently, accurately and consistently as possible, encouraging collaboration across our internal boundaries, joining the dots and helping steer the firm’s growth.

A technocrat, I am keen to utilise technology to help us engage with our audiences better and provide insight to help us make better decisions. 

Outside of work I am a keen but very amateur cyclist, fisherman and gardener, but not very successful at any of these.
