About me

I've spent more than 10 years in advertising, producing high profile, award winning work across animation, digital, experiential and social content. Along the way, my desire to use the power of the industry for good kept growing. In 2018 I started my impact journey: I co‑founded Feiy, a Shanghai based sustainability network, and created Kinkraise, a community that raised money for conservation groups in China. Today, with RAN Collectives, I bring all of these skills, networks and experience together for impact driven projects.

My motivation is rooted in awe for nature, first sparked by naturalists like Alexander von Humboldt and Jane Goodall. I believe advertising and marketing have an essential role to play in the shift to a regenerative economy, and that the world needs more positive stories: relatable, emotional and human.

Imagine

A world that puts human and ecological wellbeing first.

Nature

Seeing ourselves as part of nature again, so we can work together and everyone can thrive.

Positive visions

Stories that spark excitement, hope and action instead of doom.

She's exceptionally professional, dedicated to the cause, and I would trust her with any project.
