Tell us about your role

As a brand consultant, I help guide law firms through a process of discovery to better understand what makes them successful and how they might differentiate themselves from competing firms. We define what makes a law firm authentic and distinctive and then articulate that through carefully crafted brand messaging and a powerful visual identity.

What’s your favourite Conscious value and why?

Transparency is something that’s important to me. In the world of professional services branding, we all strive to differentiate ourselves, to stand out. But if it’s not authentic it shouldn’t form part of any brand strategy. I always advocate that you should be honest, be transparent, and be you.

The active stuff: I’m passionate about keeping a good level of fitness so I’m in the gym 3 times a week mixed in with a bit of cycling. Cooking and enjoying good food comes a close second. And then spending time with Dixie, our lovely mini-schnauzer.

The not-so-active stuff: I’ve always got a book on the go, nothing too serious, just something that takes me to another place. And the occasional TV series binge-watch...Slow Horses is right up there for me.

The amazing stuff: Skiing and scuba diving share top spot. And then there’s Everton (sorry Sahra).
