About Me

A marketer who builds.

I'm a digital marketer with an MSc in Digital Marketing (Distinction) from Oxford Brookes University. Since 2022 I've delivered SEO, web, paid media and analytics work for small businesses in the UK and Bahrain.

I started out freelancing for Bahraini clients, then co-founded MarkApex, a registered part-time agency in Oxford. Alongside a full-time job I ran projects end to end for clients including VivaBreath and Xero Motorbikes. For VivaBreath, paid campaigns reached positive ROAS within 90 days of launch.

In 2026 I designed and built Sanctuary, a women-only social app, in one month. I also lead a team of 10–20 as a Team Manager at Primark, which taught me to hire, coach and deliver under pressure.

Sanctuary

A women-only social networking app, designed and built solo in one month.

I scoped the features, designed the data model and built the app with Claude Code, using Supabase for authentication and data, AWS and Cloudflare for hosting and delivery, and the OpenAI API for its AI features.

It's in closed beta with around 30 testers. I'm running the launch marketing myself ahead of the public release in January 2027.
