Bio
Leah Jack
I have worked with Nadia for the last 8 years & I am proud to call her my mentor & true friend. Her dedication & motivation are inspiring. Her leadership skills not only put the team first but also considered the individual. Traditionally trained in Axminster carpet design, Nadia still embraced & encouraged alternative design platforms whilst promoting design & creativity within our industry. She also has an amazing sense of humour!

I've worked alongside Nadia for 4 years at Brintons. In those four years, I've seen her not only excel at the core elements of her job -- design -- but also learn other tasks that extend well beyond the scope of her role, trade shows, networking and internal communications. That's one of the things that's so remarkable about Nadia. She demonstrates not only mastery for her core role, but also the ability to take on new projects that are both difficult and critical to the company's growth. In fact, her taking on internal company communication aligned with a sharp increase in employee happiness. She is a vital part of any organization and her design skills are exceptional.
