After studying Chemistry, I started working at Ready Mixed Concrete, carrying out chemical and physical testing before my first role in colour with Procter & Gamble.

This role sparked a passion for colour that would develop into 25 years of working with top global products. Within a few years, I was the "go-to" person for pigmentation and measuring techniques.

Following my time with Procter & Gamble, developing hundreds of products, I became the principal researcher where I honed my speciality in skin tone. I was the global go-to person for measuring colour for other leading brands under the Procter & Gamble umbrella. Such as Gillette, Olay, and Oral B.

After leaving Procter & Gamble, I worked with Tropic Skincare, developing their full range of colour cosmetic formulations in my lab in Surrey.

I spent 1.5 years in the paint industry working on a product development new initiative for the Dulux brand, which has given me a unique skill in looking across different product categories to find solutions.  

Most recently, I returned to Tropic Skincare. Susie Ma, Founder of Tropic Skincare, contacted me to help lead the task of identifying the process equipment needed for making and pressing cosmetic powders, hot pours and lipsticks to bring the manufacturing in-house. Furthermore, I trained all the manufacturing operators, filling team and QC departments to be able to independently make, fill and control the quality of their full cosmetic range. These products later went on to become award-winning.
