Tea or Coffee? Dabble in all sorts kinda girl, whatever takes my fancy. As long as it’s warm and comes with a smile I’m happy (love a kitchen catch-up). But a real treat is homemade frothy coffee in my new KeepCup  

What’s the first thing you do when you get in the office? Say hello to the rest of The Peaches, usually comment on how nice the view is (for the 100th time). Still gets me having an office that looks out on beautiful fields with pheasants strolling past. Then of course have a snug with whatever dog is frequenting the office that day.

What’s your timekeeping/workload management secret? Good old fashioned pen and paper, coming from an artistic background physically writing something down makes it stick in my mind. Lists, lists and more lists. That and frequent communication.

Do you have a way to ‘come at’ the day? I love the mornings! I’ll often get up early to enjoy the small pleasures, cuddle my schnauzer Agnes, make a nice healthy breakfast, get ready slowly watching Youtube or listening to a podcast. Then I’m excited to get going and see what the day holds.

 

What do you love most about your day? Getting creative and coming up with ideas for clients, working with an amazing team of talented people helps. Not a day has gone past when I haven’t belly laughed or left work feeling inspired.

What’s your least favourite part of the day? That beast, the 3pm slump! Still not figured out how to beat that so any tips welcome.

Top stress-busting tip? Stroke a dog, have a giggle with a colleague, water some plants or look outside. Enjoy the little things.

What’s on your desk right now? My baby spider plant, two crystals, a ceramic pen pot, a huge water bottle, I drink like a fish (pretty sure I’m a mermaid) and my beautiful stone coaster.

Do you listen to music/the radio/podcasts etc during the day? I’m yet to figure out how to work the office Sonas but when I do the boys will be in for a treat. My commute is my Podcast time, I’m currently loving acast for all my podcast needs!

What are you listening to right now? Some random doof doof music the boys have put on!

When do you take your first break? And what do you tend to do? I don’t take set breaks but will often stop for a natter, which usually ends in laughter and new ideas!

What do you do when you have a creative block? I’ll do my research. When I’m stuck I find getting out of my own head and into a world of inspiration gets the creative juices flowing. Pinterest is a god send.

What do you take into meetings? Of course my trusted notebook, water, hot beverage and a smile.

What’s for lunch? Usually a salad jam packed with veg. I love my veggies!

How do you decide to call it a day? When I’ve reached a good stopping point and feel I’ve ticked off what I need from my lists. That or when Agnes is demanding her dinner!
