In 2003 she moved to the beauty industry and joined the Body Shop where she spent time as USA Marketing Director and UK Product Director.

In 2009 she launched Pretty Eccentric a quirky vintage fashion brand and opened her first store in Brighton’s Lanes district. Her designs and carefully chosen collections were such a success she opened her second store in Bath a year later.

PRETTY ECCENTRIC loves individuality, fun and romanticism and this is reflected in the treasures that bring a unique feel to the jewel like brand.
