Having managed and driven all of the business for many years, I have now focused my energy on the creative direction of the brand, and less of everything else. I am fortunate to have very capable colleagues who allow me to get on with the bits I love and be a mum to my two little boys! Royal Albartross is a luxury golf shoe and lifestyle accessories company, designed in Britain and handmade in Italy & Portugal. Our collections have been featured in Wall Street Journal, GQ, Esquire and we have a loyal customer following across the United States, Europe & Asia. Primarily, I focus my energy on new product development from design to production and the entire look and feel of the brand, from packaging to direction for photoshoots, trade show booth design, concepts for marketing materials, B2C and B2B materials and POS. I have creative input and play an ambassadorial role for the business, part managing a global team of staff, as well as working closely with agents & agency leadership (PR, Digital Marketing & Media) to further grow the business. My goal is to keep the creative vision true to where we want to go as a brand. The team is small but the brand is growing at an exciting pace and I feel lucky to have turned a passion project into a business where I get to work with, and meet, really brilliant and lovely people.
