About Me
Hollie is a senior creative and visual director whose work explores culture, identity, and how meaning is constructed through images. With over 15 years’ experience across film, fashion, and media, she specialises in shaping visual direction and narrative informed by research, cultural insight, and critical thinking.
Her background spans image-making, education, and creative leadership, giving her a grounded understanding of both concept and execution. She is particularly interested in how taste, aesthetics, and representation communicate power, belonging, and aspiration.
She works collaboratively with brands, institutions, and creative teams to develop work that is visually intelligent, culturally fluent, and considered in its impact.
