About

I’m a research-led lifestyle content creator with a background in biochemistry and over six years of experience in the influencer marketing ecosystem. I started my career as a freelance makeup artist, which gave me hands-on experience with beauty products and consumer decision-making. Over time, my work evolved beyond beauty into lifestyle, home, and everyday essentials — where I now focus on helping people buy smarter, not more. What sets my work apart is how I approach content: I research products the way a consumer wishes brands were transparent — materials, safety, performance, longevity — and translate that into clear, digestible guidance. I understand influencer marketing from multiple angles: creator, consumer, and collaborator. This allows me to build content that balances trust, education, and commercial outcomes without sacrificing credibility. Today, I partner with brands through research-based educational content, buyer guides, and long-term collaborations designed to drive informed purchasing and audience trust. 📍 UK & US based 📩 Open to brand partnerships, affiliate collaborations, and educational content opportunities
