As a Designer by trade, I spent the best part of my career working with design teams in enterprise businesses around the world.

Originally rebelling against the idea of giving up my design hat, after 4 years of Fearless I’ve since learned I love being an entrepreneur with big ambitions and a lot of heart for the future.

The Fearless team specialises in quality design and can either taken projects end to end with meaningful impact and measurable results.

With a constant view of the forever changing design industry, we often team up with others to support charity initiatives and beta tests that will contribute towards designing a better world. 

We are authentically Fearless and believe in results through empowerment. 

I am a proud member of Chief, the community for Female Execs and Helm, the community for entrepreneurs. 

If you’re also a member, an entrepreneur / founder, Senior Leader, a fellow design nerd, ADHD, working single parent or just a bit curious, I’d love to hear from you. 🫶🏼🖤

Networking and finding incredible people from across the world is my passion, if thats you, let’s chat!
