Prior to tech, I was a menswear designer at Burberry and A-Cold-Wall*, before becoming Lead Designer at Dom Rebel, where I led a team of six and landed the brand in Harrods in 2022.

In 2023, I began teaching myself to code through Code First Girls and p5.js, earning a scholarship to Makers Academy. After graduating in 2024, I joined Just Eat Takeaway as a Frontend Engineer and now work as a Fullstack Engineer at Spotify.

Alongside my day-job, I regularly contribute to the open-source creative code community, and was awarded the 2025 Processing Foundation pr05 Grant to lead a TypeScript migration for the p5.js web editor. This year I am a mentor through Google Summer of Code for the Processing Foundation. I also regularly give talks supporting under-represented minorities and career-switchers entering tech.
