Late-diagnosed with ADHD and autism at 21, I built everything I needed – because it didn’t exist for people like me.
Mere months after my diagnosis, I founded Eighteen Agency – a performance marketing company run by a fully neurodivergent team, specialising in SEO and website performance.
In 2023 and 2024, my agency generated over £1,000,000 in new business revenue for companies in the neurodiversity sector. This year, we continue to improve our ability to serve many sectors and spaces with our marketing services.
Since my own (late!) diagnosis, I’ve continued to wrestle with neurodivergence in every domain – not just personally, but professionally: leading myself, my team, and the companies we serve through systems I had to build from scratch.
With all that internal wrestling, it was inevitable I’d feel a personal call to make a dent in neurodiversity. This led me to create my second public venture – The Neurodiversity Directory: a platform designed to bridge the gap between neurodivergent individuals and the support they’ve historically missed out on and are systematically still denied.
In 2025 and beyond, my mission is clear:
Solve the vacuum that is currently ‘neurodiversity’ by making its support systems directly discoverable and impossible to ignore.
I’m doing that by building the irreplaceable bridge between the neurodivergent and the sector that claims to serve them – in the same way that I do everything: mission-first, systems-led, psychology-informed, done with depth, and executed surgically.
No fluff. No noise. No bullshit.
I’m also currently working on my first book – exploring the intersection of self awareness, personal responsibility and neurodivergence.
