Strategy consultant at Opera North who helped shape a growth strategy for its Kirkstall Forge Creative Park.
What I'm looking for
At Opera North, I helped shape a sustainable growth strategy for its Kirkstall Forge site, connecting an underused warehouse with Yorkshire’s creative economy. Our strategy was ranked first by the industry panel.
For Squadify, I worked with a small consulting team to develop Plannify, an AI-enhanced action planner that turns team health insights into structured tasks. I grounded the concept in the client’s strategic needs and commercial viability; the sponsor expressed interest in exploring further development.
At LUBS x Morrisons Sustainability Business Competition 2026, I led idea generation for a circular economy proposal using surplus Market Street bakery products. Our team won the competition after developing investment analysis, a food safety framework and a phased rollout strategy.
Before moving into strategy, I managed concurrent projects at SVN Associates and applied my architecture background to planning, technical design and delivery. I’m drawn to strategy, innovation and implementation, especially in real estate development and consulting.
