Executive Creative Director
A multi-disciplinary creative working across design, storytelling, and strategy. I bring over 14 years of experience and have honed my skills and expertise to become an award winning Executive Creative Director. I work across branding, packaging, social media and advertising. I’m driven by a passion to build environments for creatives to make clever and disruptive work (and to have the best time possible whilst doing it).

2025 events
As part of the GreenJam programme, designed to develop junior to mid-level members of our agencies, the Creative Slam is a fun way to experience the power of creativity.
It’s a live event where participants are given 45 minutes, in groups of around 6, to solve a client brief. They use the time to create ideas, consider the target market and communication channels and create a compelling presentation. I’ll be setting the brief and chucking on some unexpected hurdles

“Carol is a pleasure to collaborate with. Her open-mindedness, keeness to learn and push the creative and commercial standards higher, as well as knowing how to manage her big team around a shared goal are brilliant to see in action. She was always wanting to learn from other internal and external creative agencies and see how how her team could use technology to deliver the work more effectively and efficiently.”
