I've got my fingers crossed for Stoke-on-Trent to become the home of a new hub. It would be a fantastic boost for the city and my fellow creatives, and who knows, maybe the editors will be inspired to commission a soap all about the Potteries... Ay up, me ducks!🤞 🦆

The city is one of 13 left in the running to serve as a new base for the broadcaster

Well, it's been a while! I've been busy working behind-the-scenes with another agency on a variety of comms projects, while juggling being mum to a 5 year old, so I think this GIPHY clip sums up my life perfectly (except for the obvious gender switch lol). Hoping to be a little more active on my own media over the coming weeks, so please stay tuned 🤓
