Sales & Digital Growth

Sales, e-commerce, websites & digital marketing.

I’m building my career around sales and business growth, with hands-on experience in e-commerce, websites, email marketing and digital content. I like seeing how the parts of a business connect — from finding a customer to converting and keeping them.

Selected work

Projects I have built and shipped

Stores, product tools and campaign work — briefs that needed a commercial answer, then the digital work to make them usable.

Gator Mats

An online store for premium desk pads and custom mouse mats. The brief was a clear path to buy: browse the catalogue, customise a design, then get to cart and checkout.

Product configuration tool

A mix of commercial thinking and practical digital work — useful in a startup or growing company, not only in one narrow job title.

About

Curious about how a business actually works

I’m from the UK. I like understanding more than one part of a company, rather than specialising in a single technical lane. Earlier in my career I spent two years in film production at Warner Bros, which is where a professional work ethic and a systematic way of getting through the day’s work really took shape.

From there I moved into e-commerce, websites, marketing and digital work — Klaviyo, content, and the tools around them — plus client and project work where the job is to listen, figure out what is needed, and get it done.

That mix is what I’m taking into sales and business development: enough commercial sense to care about the customer, and enough hands-on digital experience to understand the product and the systems behind it.

What I’m looking for

Working across websites, e-commerce and marketing has given me a practical sense of how digital businesses operate — how customers are found, converted and kept. That’s why I’m looking for remote roles in sales, business development and growth, particularly in SaaS, AI, e-commerce and other digital companies. I’m also open to broader digital and e-commerce roles where that same mix is useful.
