Commercial ownership
Founder
Experience.
Two ventures across beauty, fashion and creative services — built, launched and operated end-to-end.
The work
I've founded and operated three ventures — two direct-to-consumer brands and my own creative studio. That's meant writing the strategy, building the Shopify sites, running the trading calendar, producing the campaigns, briefing the creators and shipping the creative.
Commercial ownership — not entrepreneurship as a title.
