MY STORY
from marketer to photographer & content creator
Ever since I was young, I've been captivated by aesthetics. After completing a degree in Fashion Marketing, I ventured into the marketing world in the fast-paced fashion industry in London, before moving back to Cornwall as PR & Marketing Manager Visit Cornwall, the local tourism & hospitality board.
In 2018 I went freelance offering marketing & social media support for hospitality brands, but with the COVID lockdowns I lost 90% of my client work, and it prompted me to explore my creative side.
To keep my creativity flowing, I purchased a camera and starting honing my skills and techniques taking photos during my Cornwall adventures and sharing them on my travel blog, Meet Me by the Sea.
Post-pandemic, my photography business took off and I fell in love with capturing a narrative and eliciting emotions with my imagery for incredible hotels, restaurants, bars & hospitality brands.
In May 2023 I was announced for the Cornwall 30 Under 30 award, an initiative that recognises young, successful people in business.
