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.
If that makes sense, do get in touch.
