MORE ABOUT ME

My fascination with cosmetic science started with my first graduate job back in 1997. 

​

A condition of taking the job was that I undertake further study - the Diploma of Cosmetic Science which, at that time was being run by the London School of Fashion.  I agreed and the rest is history.

​

My career has spanned all aspects of the industry from buying and selling ingredients to technical support, formulation development, research and development of ingredients and products, teaching and business development.

​

Want to hire me?

I want you to know that I value the scientific process over any marketing fad or trend.  I prefer working with people who seek evidence over opinions.  I have no time for posturing or grandious self-promotion and feel life is too short for shallow, half-baked investments both on my part and yours. 

I am autistic and have ADHD. These things make my approach to business both brilliant and inspiring but also slightly awkward and detached - I won't want to meet and talk to you often or become your best friend. I don't enjoy talking on the phone and can have times when responding to the demands of others is tough for me. That said, I will always be thorough, innovative, detail-orientated and more interested in exploring what went wrong than covering anything up.  I've also been in business long enough to be able to keep on keeping on.
