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 and prefer working with people who seek evidence over opinions. 

​

 I also value creativity and work best when I can explore a brief, concept or trouble-shooting task with enough lee-way to enable a range of solutions to be developed.  

 

I am autistic and have ADHD. These things make my approach to business both brilliant and inspiring but also slightly awkward and maybe a little different to the 'norm'.  People love me for my honesty,  my thorough and insightful approach, my curiosity and my passion for the subject. I delight in problem-solving and making all of those invisible improvements neded to create great, reliable and effective products.  People sometimes find my communication style frustrating as I typically prefer to finish a piece of work before sharing updates. 

​

If that makes sense, do get in touch and we'll create a plan of action together.
