I'm a Creative Leader , Strategist and Designer with over 5 years of experience leading teams in visual design, strategy, and content delivery.

I'm excited to bring my skills and vision to the Creative Design Lead role at Miro.

My Core Values

Nurturing Talent & Development

Mentoring is central to my values, and I believe it’s one of the most impactful ways to foster growth and create positive change, both in and outside of work. I find it incredibly rewarding to help others grow, and I continue to mentor former colleagues, offering career guidance and serving as their first point of contact for advice.

This commitment to mentoring also led me to teach After Effects rigging and animation at the Draper Film & Music Academy, a charity empowering young people through filmmaking, over the course of two summers.

Here, I’m coaching one of my current mentees through an intense game of Ditto Draft Ditto Draft Image

Creative Team

Don't take my word for it

What My Team Says

" As Mysh's junior on the Design Team, I’ve felt incredibly supported in my growth as a designer. Mysh has been an incredible mentor, teaching with patience, confidence, and care. She taught me how to use Miro, helping me create templates and workflows that shaped how I work.

Mysh fosters trust and collaboration, creating an environment where I feel confident to meet deadlines and share ideas. She’s also vocal about the importance of mental health, regularly checking in to ensure our well-being. I’d jump at any opportunity to work with Mysh again. "

- Summer Davies, Associate Creative Designer

" Mysh hit the ground running when she joined the team (in the middle of a games announcement), improving our practices for task organisation and our reviewing of work through Miro. Her in-depth research and innovative processes came in clutch many times through the variety of design work the team dealt with. "

- Mat Clark, Principal Creative Designer

" When Mysh joined our team as Lead, she completely transformed the way we work to be much more efficient, which created space for collaboration and improvement. With her support and mentorship, I became more confident to push the boundaries of my abilities and was able to really grow in my role. "

Case Study: 03

Pokémon TCG

Overview Leading Pokémon TCG’s global releases, I crafted bespoke 360 campaigns that seamlessly integrated across TV ads, social, web, and paid media. Maintaining consistency across all elements, both within each campaign and with Pokémon’s broader brand goals, was key to driving the process from pitch to final delivery.

I developed the strategy for each project, identifying opportunities to innovate and solve challenges across all our work with Pokémon, including campaigns for Pokémon GO, and Pokémon as a lifestyle brand. This role required meticulous attention to Pokémon’s strict IP guidelines while delivering campaigns that resonated deeply with the target audience. I also contributed to larger brand initiatives, serving as a brand ambassador throughout.

Strategy & Execution

New: Game Mechanics Assets

Created to showcase new moves in each expansion, turning complex gameplay into engaging videos for both casual and competitive players.

Dynamic Brand Playbook

Crafted detailed guidelines combining client feedback and extensive R&D, continually updated to align with evolving needs and their interconnected brands.

Pokémon Professor Community

Developed a process for collaborating with TCG experts to ensure authenticity and accuracy, using detailed storyboards and cross-functional workflows.

A highlight of my work as a lead:

Making time for meaningful communication

" I've been working as a freelancer for over 10 years now and that was
the most human feedback I've ever received. Thank you. "

- Freelancer, MGFX Artist

Launch Fast & Iterate

To gather quick feedback and refine ideas rapidly during the pitch process, I encouraged rough prototyping, allowing for earlier client input.

Tailored Platform Documentation

To ensure smooth rollouts post-delivery, I built detailed guides on how content should be uploaded and function, ensuring quality control after handover.

Evolved Pitch Format

Redesigned decks to highlight strategy, targeting and campaign periods with clear visuals and signposting for FPO/REFs etc.

Campaigns That Deliver, Every Time.

Every campaign element was carefully designed with Pokémon's core values and audience in mind. With a focus on quality, I delivered campaigns that successfully connected with players and pushed the brand and its strategy forward with each new body of work.

From the time I took over the pitching and strategy up to my departure from the company, this approach led to a 100% pitch success rate. Shocked Pikachu Image

Why Miro?

I believe design should drive how companies operate and thrive. Miro has been pivotal in enabling agile, collaborative workflows and empowering my teams to succeed together.

After my first week using Miro, I set a personal goal to work here someday. Following Miro's growth - through blogs, product updates, and its commitment to accessibility and innovation, has only solidified that goal. Miro has transformed how I collaborate, organize, and innovate, amplifying my strengths and making me feel unstoppable.

Miro’s limitless canvas is the perfect metaphor for what’s possible when great minds collaborate. The chance to contribute to a platform that empowers teams to boldly go further than they ever imagined is unparalleled - there is no other company I would rather dedicate my time and energy to.

Beyond Work

Where Creativity Meets Play

Embracing Adventure

Outside of work, I love exploring creative outlets that push me outside my comfort zone, from cosplaying to being a certified Les Mills instructor. Last year, I took on the challenge of learning to longboard just two weeks before the Bath to Bristol skate!

I believe life is for living - embracing new experiences and immersing myself in different communities helps me stay open-minded, bringing fresh perspectives to both my personal and professional life.

Look forward to hearing from you.

- and hopefully collaborating on a Miro board with you soon!
