  1. GraduatedEarned a degree in Economics.
  2. 2016–2020Worked as an investment banker, providing £1 billion+ in growth capital to small and mid-sized businesses. Learned how businesses are valued, financed and run — with a growing itch to build something of my own.

2019 – 2020

  1. 2019Launched my first e-commerce brand from my bedroom — and learned more in a year than any job had ever taught me.
