SENIOR PRODUCT MANAGER | LEARN CLUB
Ace Animator
Incredible education books from Evidence-Based Learning have been transforming classrooms for years. To amplify their impact, I envisioned bringing these resources to life through animation on LearnClub, a Netflix-style platform for education. Despite our passion and vision, limited resources prevented us from scaling the business to reach a user base that could attract funding.

CREATIVE DIRECTOR | ROCKET PICTURES
Creative Director
Imagine being handpicked by Sir Elton John himself for a contract role—well, that was my reality. Tasked with conducting landscape research on children’s virtual worlds, I proved my worth and earned a permanent position as Head of Digital. In this role, I led the development of cutting-edge digital products for Sir Elton’s film, TV, and stage projects. The success of these products played a pivotal role in securing £7.5m in funding from a sovereign wealth fund. It was an honor to contribute to such a legendary legacy.
FOUNDER & CEO | MAN LONDON
Fashion Designer
Picture this: A chance encounter with a fashion agent selling garments to prestigious brands like ASOS, Selfridges, and Harvey Nichols sparked a creative collaboration. Together, we embarked on a journey to create something unique. As fate would have it, I stumbled upon an empty shop on the trendy Old Compton Street in Soho, London. Without hesitation, I seized the opportunity and rented the space, birthing the iconic menswear brand, MAN London.
With passion and determination, I meticulously designed an entire range of clothing tailored for men in that sweet spot—too old for Abercrombie and Fitch, yet too young for Ralph Lauren. From conceptualisation to execution, I oversaw every aspect, from manufacturing in China to store design and branding. The result? A successful venture that saw over £300k in clothing sales, with designs stocked in ASOS, Selfridges, and Harvey Nichols. It was a journey fuelled by creativity, entrepreneurship, and the pursuit of excellence.
FOUNDER + CEO | VIZWOZ
Builder of Virtual Worlds
After successfully selling my school sticker reward company to Venture Capitalists, I found myself retained with golden handcuffs.
But that didn’t deter me from pursuing my next big venture.In 2005, I conceptualised an innovative sticker design, each embedded with a unique encrypted code, paving the way for an online collection platform called Mystickers. By 2007, Mystickers boasted over 250,000 children collecting stickers, setting the stage for my next ambitious project.
With only £800K in funding, I embarked on the creation of Vizwoz, a virtual world designed to entertain and engage young users. This monumental undertaking involved assembling a team of 15 developers, 5 designers, and a dedicated squad of in-world moderators known as Vizcops.
Despite facing the challenge of no marketing budget, the success of Mystickers fuelled the growth of Vizwoz. In just one year, we skyrocketed to 1 million users, a testament to the power of innovative ideas and strategic execution.
