About

After four years full-time as a researcher/brand strategist at two London agencies plus four more years freelance, working with the world's leading brands, I founded Certain People in 2025.

Personally, I am an international soul. I learned different languages, traveled everywhere, lived in many places, and still split my life across three countries. I studied sociology and was a lifestyle journalist. I am interested in culture and like to take an analytical approach to observe it. Needless to say, I am interested in business and commerce - brands, for sure. I published a Chinese book in 2014.
