Why this shark wears pyjamas

I help charities and ethical businesses cut through the jargon and connect with clarity. Marketing should feel human, kind, and genuinely useful – and that’s exactly what I offer.

How I work differently

I don’t follow the usual playbook – and that’s a strength. As an autistic marketer, I spot patterns others miss, ask better questions, and build strategies that actually make sense for your audience.

I listen. Properly. I care about what you do, how you work, and what success looks like for you. That means no cookie-cutter plans – just thoughtful, collaborative support that grows with you.

I reject the smoke-and-mirrors style of marketing that relies on clients not knowing what’s going on. I explain things clearly, empower you to make informed choices, and never hide behind buzzwords.

From Burnout to Breakthrough

After 17+ years in marketing, I realised the corporate world wasn’t built for my brain – or my values. A late autism diagnosis in 2022 changed everything, giving me the clarity and permission to work differently. I left behind rigid roles and KPIs to build something more flexible, more honest, and more useful.

A Shark in Pyjamas

Pyjama Shark is named after a real, stripey, nocturnal creature that’s often misunderstood – just like many neurodivergent people. The brand stands for sensory-friendly workspaces, ditching dress codes, and making room for people who think differently. It’s quirky, yes – but serious about helping good organisations thrive.
