Message

At Wiser, I researched market, audience and employer-brand questions for clients including Deutsche Bank, BMW, Nubank, Barclays and NEXT, turning findings into presentations and recommendations. For BMW, I co-led qualitative research, conducting 14 interviews and co-facilitating seven focus groups.

Before moving into research, I coordinated production logistics for photography and film projects, including shoots for the BBC, BlackRock and Coca-Cola. At SHFT, I supported production from pre-production through post-production and managed the company’s social media content and website launch.
